its due tomorrow.

and its about writting a application that converts text to binary numbers

two ways that we are allowed to do it.
1. Straight up using the way to convert to binary
2. Thru Base16 [way way way way way harder and im clueless about this way than the 1st one]

i know how to do it but it would be hard to figure out what kind of a Pseudo code would i write so i dont fail that test.

its in Visual Basic. but if you know C++ you can still gimme the main idea and ill be able to write it back to VB.

dont do this assignment for me!
id rather have some tips and pseudo code than that.

any help by tomorrow is appreciated!

edit: would it work if its converted into ASCII? Because if so it would be easy making each letter into a number then using a previous code we wrote to convert numbers to binary?

I think you may want to utilize the modulo operator, and a simple if else statement.

we havent gotten that far into VB (but i googled it)

although i think this would be used for next week's lab assignment because we are making a string to hex and vise versa app.

i like the idea and ill research it.
"In computing, the modulo operation finds the remainder of division of one number by another."
that would come useful when i do divisions by two and then leave 1 or 0.
