For the decimal to binary conversion, you need to divide input by 2 until the <dfn>quotient</dfn>, or the result of dividing two numbers, is 0. But since you don't know how many times you need to divide input by 2, you can use a while loop to run a block of code as long as input is greater than 0 and can be divided.
As a reminder, a while loop is used to run a block of code as long as the condition evaluates to true, and the condition is checked before the code block is executed. For example:
let i = 0;
while (i < 5) {
console.log(i);
i++;
}
Create a while loop that runs as long as input is greater than 0. Leave the body of the loop empty for now.
The condition of your while loop should check if input is greater than 0.
assert.match(String(decimalToBinary), /while\s*\(\s*input\s*>\s*0\s*\)\s*\{/);
Your while loop should have an empty body.
assert.match(code, /while\s*\(\s*input\s*>\s*0\s*\)\s*\{\s*\}/);
