The binary conversion function has an index of 0 to 18, while the BCD conversion function uses an index of 0 to 20. The decimal range of 0 to 99,999 determines these indices.

HERE’S A C/C++ PROGRAM that converts decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 99,999 to binary and binary coded decimal (BCD) formats. Using a simple algorithm in conjunction with pointer ...

It converts from binary to decimal (b m = 10) and its places p are stored in nibbles (R m = 4). Therefore, bit carry must be executed when p m ≥ 5 and the carry constant is (2 Rm – b m)/2 = 3. That is ...

Why do computers only work with the numbers 0 and 1? There are machines that process three digits with more efficiency than ...
