cout << &var; to binary??

[novellof]

How can I output the address of a variable in binary?

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int x = 5;
    
    cout << &x << endl; // output binary not hex...HOW??
    
    return 0;
}

You can convert between bases easily, here's one method. Converting a hex string to a decimal string using stringstream and then converting to an unsigned integer.
