Hi I am creating a method that will take a number and print it along with its binary representation. The problems is that my method prints all 0's for any positive number, and all 1's for any negative number
private static void display( int number ){
        System.out.print(number + "\t");        
        int mask = 1 << 31;
        for(int i=1; i<=32; i++) {
            if( (mask & number) != 0 )
                System.out.print(1);
            else
                System.out.print(0);
            if( (i % 4) == 0 )
                System.out.print(" ");
        }
    }
