{
    List<int> list = new List<int>();
    while (number!=0)
    {
        list.Add(number % Base);
        number = number / Base;

   string s = "stackoverflow";
   int counter=0;
   while (counter!=s.Length)
   {
       int[] a = ConvertTextToBinary(s[counter], 2).ToArray();
       for (int i = 0; i < a.Length; i++)
       {
           Console.Write(a[i]);
       }
       Console.Write("
");
       counter++;
   }
