# --description--

Now you'll start building the function to actually do the decimal to binary conversion.

Create a function called `decimalToBinary` with `input` as a parameter. Leave the body of the function empty for now.

# --hints--

`decimalToBinary` should be a function.

```js
assert.isFunction(decimalToBinary);
```

You should pass `input` as a parameter to your `decimalToBinary` function.

```js
assert.match(String(decimalToBinary), /function\s+decimalToBinary\s*\(\s*input\s*\)/);
```

The body of your `decimalToBinary` function should be empty.

```js
assert.match(String(decimalToBinary), /function\s+decimalToBinary\s*\(\s*input\s*\)\s*\{\s*\}/);
```
