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, ...

To convert a binary number to decimal, you simply sum the values of the bits that are set to 1. The place values for binary are powers of 2. For example: ...

Over the last few months I've come to the conclusion that most of us have an innate faith that we understand the concepts behind BCD (binary coded decimal), but that in reality the majority of us ...

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 ...

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.

I'm stumped on this.<BR><BR>I need to create a data file that some back end mainframe process can load. There is a specification file that is Cobol, and it specifies that most fields that deal with ...

Analog and LCD watches are both useful designs, but ultimately are mainstream timepieces. Using a binary watch is an easy way to set one’s self apart as a tech enthusiast, while impressing your hacker ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a performance comparison of Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) Adders on Field Programmable Gate Logic (FPGA) for functional and behavioural verification. Although it does ...
