Reading bit and converting to string

Hi
I just learned bitshifts and I was wondering whether it is possible to read bits and to convert them into a string.

Yes it is.

 

How would someone go about doing it?

 

This takes 12 in dec, 2 is the base to be used (binary) and is then stored in the str array.

Code:

int main(void)
{
    char str[4];
    printf("12 to binary is %s\n",itoa(12,str,2));
    return(0);
}
