The problem i'm having is that I type '1010', meaning base2, but obviously C reads it in through scanf() as being one thousand and ten [base10]. Is there an inbuilt function which means C reads a binary number as a binary number? kind of like scanf("%o" &oct) would read in an octal number. do i need to write one myself?
