From decimal to hexa. haloa guys, i've a problem on a code in c++.

Hi, i'm new on this forum.
I have to make a program that transform a decimal number to hexadecimal. The code works only for some decimal values. Like 4095, 3058, 405, 1315 ..... but it does not work for many other values ​​like: 3586, 3584 ...
I do not know which saint to pray so I thought I'd ask you to help.
thanks for any suggestions and help.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{ int a,c;

cin>>a;
c=144;
while (c>16)
{
if (a>16 && a<256)
{

c=a%16;
a=a/16;
switch (a)
{
case 10:
cout<<"A";
break;
case 11:
cout<<"B";
break;
case 12:
cout<<"C";
break;
case 13:
cout<<"D";
break;
case 14:
cout<<"E";
break;
case 15:
cout<<"F";
break;
default:
cout<<a;
break;

}
switch (c)
{
case 10:
cout<<"A";
break;
case 11:
cout<<"B";
break;
case 12:
cout<<"C";
break;
case 13:
cout<<"D";
break;
case 14:
cout<<"E";
break;
case 15:
cout<<"F";
break;
default:
cout<<c;
break;
}
}
if (a>256 && a<4096)
{
c=a%256;

a=a/256;

switch (a)
{
case 10:
cout<<"A";
break;
case 11:
cout<<"B";
break;
case 12:
cout<<"C";
break;
case 13:
cout<<"D";
break;
case 14:
cout<<"E";
break;
case 15:
cout<<"F";
break;
default:
cout<<a;
break;

}



}

if (a>4096)
{
c=a%4096;

a=a/4096;

switch (a)
{
case 10:
cout<<"A";
break;
case 11:
cout<<"B";
break;
case 12:
cout<<"C";
break;
case 13:
cout<<"D";
break;
case 14:
cout<<"E";
break;
case 15:
cout<<"F";
break;
default:
cout<<a;
break;

}
}
a=c;
}


cout<<endl;


system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}


P.S.
(where are the smile in this forum?)


It is easier to rewrite that code from scratch than to fing logic error in it.
For example:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
#include <array>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>


std::string to_hex(unsigned number)
{
    static const std::array<char, 16> hexdigits =
        {'0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7',
         '8', '9', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F',};
    std::string hex;
    while (number != 0) {
        hex.push_back(hexdigits[number % 16]);
        number /= 16;
    }
    return {hex.rbegin(), hex.rend()};
}


int main()
{
    unsigned number;
    std::cin >> number;
    std::cout << to_hex(number) << std::endl;
}
