This C Program converts a decimal number into binary & count the
number of 1s. The program uses module operation and multiplication with
base 2 operation for conversion. It also uses modulo operation to check for 1′s and accordingly increments the count of 1s.
Here is source code of the C program to convert a decimal number to binary & count the number of 1s. The C program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
/*
