Editor's Note: This is the first article in a two-part series on decimal representations and decimal arithmetic in general, and on Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) in particular. In this first installment, ...

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 arithmetic and ...

A rudimentary understanding of digital logic and simple integrated circuits is critical if you’re ever going to pull off some really gnarly hacks. [Daniel] put together an explanation about the use of ...

Binary codes are codes which are characterized in binary system with alteration from the original ones. The two types of binary codes are the Weighted Binary Systems and Non Weighted Codes. Weighted ...

While desktop computers have tons of computing power and storage, some small CPUs don’t have a lot of space to store things. What’s more is some CPUs don’t do multiplication and division very well.

In the computer, all data are represented as binary digits (bits), and eight binary digits make up one byte. For example, the upper case letter A is 0101001. Numbers however can take several forms.

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 ...
