Binary Representation Of A Number

Hello my dear readers !.. Sorry for keeping you guyz  waiting for such a long time (i know i am being modest.. ;-) )..
Today's Post is all about Converting a number into its binary form.
The idea is derived from the fact that if we "AND (&) " a particular number with 1, that bit at unit's place will be extracted from the number. Similarly if we will shift 1 to it's left, the second last bit will be obtained and similarly so forth and so on. Hence the ith bit will be obained by doing AND operation of number and 1 at ith place.

The code of the program is as follows:

#include<stdio.h>

void convertIntoBinary(unsigned int n)
{
    unsigned int i=1;

    for(i=1<<31;i>0;i=i/2)
    {
        (n&i)?printf("1"):printf("0");
    }
}
int main()
{
    convertIntoBinary(50);
    return 0;
}

Any questions as well as suggestions are always welcome.
