[java] Print an integer in binary format in Java

I think it's the simplest algorithm so far (for those who don't want to use built-in functions):

public static String convertNumber(int a)  { 
              StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder();
              sb.append(a & 1);
              while ((a>>=1) != 0)  { 
                  sb.append(a & 1);
               }
              sb.append("b0");
              return sb.reverse().toString();
  }

Example:

convertNumber(1) --> "0b1"

convertNumber(5) --> "0b101"

convertNumber(117) --> "0b1110101"

How it works: while-loop moves a-number to the right (replacing the last bit with second-to-last, etc), gets the last bit's value and puts it in StringBuilder, repeats until there are no bits left (that's when a=0).
