We now have a procedure for converting binary numbers to other bases, but it can be made even more code-efficient if we switch shifting and adjusting, which we’ll call an adjust-shift algorithm.In ...

Let's take the example further, and convert each hexadecimal digit to its decimal equivalent and then add them: (16 2 x 1) + (16 0 x 15) + (16 0 x 4) = (256 + 240 + 4) = 500. Hex and binary in action.

The bc command works just as well with binary as it does with hex and octal, so we can also convert numbers to binary. Here’s the command to display decimal 16 as a binary number: $ echo ...

Here's a C/C++ program that converts decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 99,999 to binary and BCD formats. Using a simple algorithm in conjunction with pointer arithmetic and bitwise ...
