Hello all,
Could anyone explain how to optimization this code? In the prosess of optimization what is the factor needed and important to know about it?
Thank you very much for all. -

The characters in a string are already integers. That is, a char containing A is already in binary. Has to be. It's in the computer. In this case the A is 65 so all you need do is convert that 65 to binay.
You convert the char directly to binary.
(str[i] / n ) % 2 ) will get the bit in column n for the ith character in the string str. Just vary n as a power of 2 from 1 to 128.

Sir, how to check this code can improve performance and usage memory because i'm beginner to know C and dont know about optimization. Could you explain reference about optimization in website. Because it's important for me.
Thanks all.
