How to convert a binary #

I'm new to C programing.

I was wondering if someone could give me a little direction on how to convert a 16 bit binary # into a form I can output to the lcd_putc() function which is in the lcd.c include file? Or maybe which function should I use to do this conversion ?

Do it with printf. In CCS, printf has a special feature where its output
can be re-directed to another function. You can re-direct it to the
lcd_putc() function and it will be displayed on the LCD. Printf will do
the conversion from an integer to ASCII for you.

See this example program:

This program displays a floating point number on the LCD.

If you want to display an 'int16' variable on the LCD, then use "%lu"
instead of "%f" in the printf statement.
