Decimal to Binary

I need to develop a code that will convert decimal to binary....I have gotten stuck though on this certain part and was wonder
ing if any of you would be able to help see where my error is...

Code:

---

public class binaryconvert {
       
public static void main(String [] args)
{       
        int convert (int j)
        {
                int n=j;
                if (n==0) return 1;
                else{
                        convert(n/2);
                        System.out.println(n%2);
                }
               
        }
}
}

---

any help would be greatly appreciated !

Do you have to write your own implementation, or can you use the Integer.toBinaryString() method?

You need to be returning something if n != 0.

we need to write our own implementation we cannot use that method...maybe that's where my program is having an error but i don't understand what it's supposed to be

do you want to write function which prints binary version in String format or it should return binary value ?
