question, you are required to write a program that takes as an input any decimal number (with fractional part) and then converts the fractional part to binary and display it on the screen. The program also takes in the number of fractional digits to show in the binary number (suppose this number could be entered and saved as floating-point, yet we test if it is integer or not later inside the program). Before converting the number, please take the following rules into consideration: • If the number to be converted has an integer part, the program should discard the integer part and convert the fractional part only. • If the number to be converted is negative then the program output should be Invalid. • If the number of required binary digits is not a positive integer, then the program output should be Invalid. There are several methods that can be used to perform the conversion task. Below, we will discuss two of these methods briefly and you have the freedom to use anyone of them to solve this assignment. Method 1: In this method, you have to split the fractional part from the integer part (if the number has an integer part), and multiply the fraction by two. After multiplication by two, the result wil

Method 1:
In this method, you have to split the fractional part from the integer part (if the number has an integer part), and multiply the fraction by two. After multiplication by two, the result will start with either a 0 or 1. Take this 0 or 1 as the first fractional digit of your number. In the next step, split the fractional part of the previous result, and then multiply the fractional part by two again, and the result will have 0 or 1 in the integer part. This will be the second digit to the right of the first one. Keep repeating this process repeatedly until the fractional part is zero or you reached the required number of fractional digits entered by the user. The table below shows an example on how to apply Method 1 to convert 0.6875 to binray.
IMPORTANT NOTE 1 - Do not add any cout statements except for the final answer as specified above. Do not add "Enter a number", "the number of digits is" or any similar prompts. Also note that the grader is case-sensitive . Do not add any unnecessary spaces.
