Not clear on how this outputs 110, please explain if you can..

function bin (number) { var res = ""; while (num > 0) { res = num % 2 + res; num = Math.floor (num/2); } return res; } document.write (bin(6));

you are extracting the binary number of 6 which is 110 i made a code close to this https://code.sololearn.com/WiQQc1WPBq7r/?ref=app

explanation: 6 %2 is 0 6/2=3 3%2=1 you are adding it to the left of the previous value so now res=10 3/2=1 1%2=1 res=110

Thank you @Dominique! But why are we adding to the left of previous value instead of how it's done normally?

that is right way to convert into binary. it is also the right way to convert any base number (base 2 for binary, 16 for hexadecimal.) base 10 is the normal decimal numbers we usually use im telling you all this in case you wanted to do more research online
