Systems requiring arithmetic operationson data usually performthose operations in binary form. As aresult, they must convert the data to BCDform for display purposes. Address-selectioninformation from ...

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, ...

We see so many clocks here at Hackaday, and among those we see our fair share of binary clocks. But to see one that at first sight looks as though it might be a commercial product when it is in fact a ...

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 ...

In Part 1 of this two-part binary coded decimal (BCD) extravaganza, we introduced a bunch of bodacious concepts, including the binary (base-2) number system, binary logic, binary computers, and bits, ...

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.

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 ...
