[Tutor] How to convert a decimal integer into binary

this sounds like a homework problem, so no code here.  however, the
answer is trivial once you realize that all integers are natively
available in any base, whether it be 2, 8, 10, 16, etc.  since you
want base two, the easiest way to solve your problem is to display
each bit (Binary digIT [or is that BInary digiT?]) one at a time.  the
best way to solve your problem is through an iterative process.  you
may have to tweak your initial solution(s), but you would be well on
your way there!

good luck!

ps. this is a standard programming exercise... it's even in "Core
Python" (see below)
