It's working now. Another problem:

Enter a number in binary: 10000011
Hexadecimal: 00000000000000000083

How can I remove the zeros?

A very good question!

Take yourself off the keyboard for a few minutes, maybe actually use a pen[cil] and paper to work through the inherent logic of the challenge.

Think along the lines of, "Hmm, what conditions pertain when a am preparing to output a '0' that would require me to display it? What conditions would allow me to suppress it?" (Hint: One of the conditions is that the numeral to display at the moment is '0'.)

Then detect those conditions in your code, and either emit or decline to emit the '0' as appropriate.
