Print an integer in binary format in Java

Assuming you mean "built-in":

int x = 100;
System.out.println(Integer.toBinaryString(x));

See Integer documentation.

(Long has a similar method, BigInteger has an instance method where you can specify the radix.)

Here no need to depend only on binary or any other format... one flexible built in function is available That prints whichever format you want in your program.. Integer.toString(int, representation)

Integer.toString(100,8) // prints 144 --octal representation

Integer.toString(100,2) // prints 1100100 --binary representation

Integer.toString(100,16) //prints 64 --Hex representation

System.out.println(Integer.toBinaryString(343));

I needed something to print things out nicely and separate the bits every n-bit. In other words display the leading zeros and show something like this:

n = 5463
output = 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 0101 0101 0111

So here's what I wrote:

/**
 * Converts an integer to a 32-bit binary string
 * @param number
 *      The number to convert
 * @param groupSize
 *      The number of bits in a group
 * @return
 *      The 32-bit long bit string
 */
public static String intToString(int number, int groupSize) {
    StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();

    for(int i = 31; i >= 0 ; i--) {
        int mask = 1 << i;
        result.append((number & mask) != 0 ? "1" : "0");

        if (i % groupSize == 0)
            result.append(" ");
    }
    result.replace(result.length() - 1, result.length(), "");

    return result.toString();
}

Invoke it like this:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(intToString(5463, 4));
}

public static void main(String[] args) 
{
    int i = 13;
    short s = 13;
    byte b = 13;

    System.out.println("i: " + String.format("%32s", 
            Integer.toBinaryString(i)).replaceAll(" ", "0"));

    System.out.println("s: " + String.format("%16s", 
            Integer.toBinaryString(0xFFFF & s)).replaceAll(" ", "0"));

    System.out.println("b: " + String.format("%8s", 
            Integer.toBinaryString(0xFF & b)).replaceAll(" ", "0"));

}

Output:

i: 00000000000000000000000000001101
s: 0000000000001101
b: 00001101
