Binary to Decimal

Explore methods for converting binary numbers into decimal and hexadecimal values in C programming. Understand how positional notation, bit weight addition, and binary-to-hex conversion simplify handling binary data in code.

The C language does not understand the binary number system. That’s why if you want to store 10110110 in 2 bytes through a C program, we won’t be able to use these bit patterns directly. So, we need to convert these binary numbers into decimal numbers. This conversion can be done using the following methods:

  • Positional notation
  • Remember the weight associated with each bit
  • Binary to hexadecimal

Let’s discuss ...
