java: converting binary to text?

binary, java

Solution

instead of

String out = new Character((char)k).toString();

do

String out = String.valueOf(k);

EDIT:

String input = "011000010110000101100001";
String output = "";
for(int i = 0; i <= input.length() - 8; i+=8)
{
    int k = Integer.parseInt(input.substring(i, i+8), 2);
    output += (char) k;
}

Problem

I wrote this code for converting binary to text . ``` public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{ BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); System.out.println("Enter a binary value:"); String h = b.readLine(); int k = Integer.parseInt(h,2); String out = new Character((char)k).toString(); System.out.println("string: " + out); } } ``` and look at the output ! ``` Enter a binary value: 0011000100110000 string: ? ``` what's the problem?
