Convert a Number to Hexadecimal - Bit Manipulation - Easy - LeetCode

Given an integer, write an algorithm to convert it to hexadecimal. For negative integer, two’s complement method is used.

Note:

All letters in hexadecimal (a-f) must be in lowercase. The hexadecimal string must not contain extra leading 0s. If the number is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0'; otherwise, the first character in the hexadecimal string will not be the zero character. The given number is guaranteed to fit within the range of a 32-bit signed integer. You must not use any method provided by the library which converts/formats the number to hex directly. Example 1:

Input: 26

Output: "1a" Example 2:

Input: -1

Output: "ffffffff"

public class Solution {
 public string ToHex(int num) {
 if(num==0){
 return "0";
 }
 
 var map = new char[]{'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','a','b','c','d','e','f'};
 var arr = new char[8];
 int index = 7;
 int sum = 0;
 int count = 0;
 for(int i=0;i<32;i++){
 sum+=(int)Math.Pow(2,i%4)*(num&1);
 num=num>>1;
 count++;
 if(count%4==0){
 arr[index]=map[sum];
 sum=0; 
 index--;
 }
 }
 
 var sb = new StringBuilder();
 bool digitStarted = false;
 for(int i=0;i<arr.Length;i++){
 if(arr[i]!='0' && !digitStarted){
 digitStarted = true;
 sb.Append(arr[i]);
 }
 else if(digitStarted){
 sb.Append(arr[i]);
 }
 }
 return sb.ToString();
 }
}
