Convert IP Address to 32-bit Binary Format
1. Write a C program that takes a classless IP address as input and displays it in binary, the number of network and host address depending on number represented after the backslash
Classless is called Classless Inter-Domain Routing. It was introduced in 1993 to replace classfull addressing and it allows the user to use Variable Length Subnet Makss(VLSM). Class-less subnet masks are denoted by /X. X is the subnet mask. For example 192.168.0.1/24.
[Note: Input must be like this XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/XX
Example: 192.168.0.1/24]
Network Address: (224-2)
Host Address: (28-2)
Sample Output
Enter IPv4: 192.168.0.1/24 IP in binary: 11000000.10101000.00000000.00000001 Network address: (2^24)-2 = 16777214 Host Address: (2^8)-2 = 254 Process returned 29 (0x1D) execution time : 19.943 s Press any key to continue.
