C program to convert binary number to hexadecimal number system.
Required Knowledge
Binary number system is a base 2 number system using digits 0 and 1 whereas Hexadecimal number system is base 16 and using digits from 0 to 9 and A to F. Given a binary number as input from user convert it to hexadecimal number.
For Example
10001111 in Binary is equivalent to 8F in hexadecimal number.C program to convert a decimal number to hexadecimal number
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
int hexDigitToBinary[16] = {0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000,
1001, 1010, 1011, 1100, 1101, 1110, 1111};
char hexDigits[16] = {'0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8',
'9', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F'};
char hexaDecimalNumber[20];
long binaryNumber;
int position, i, digits;
/*
* Take a binary number as input from user
*/
printf("Enter a Binary Number\n");
scanf("%ld", &binaryNumber);
position = 0;
/* Convert a Hexadecimal Number to Binary Number */
while(binaryNumber!=0) {
/*get the last 4 binay digits */
digits = binaryNumber % 10000;
for(i=0; i<16; i++) {
if(hexDigitToBinary[i] == digits) {
hexaDecimalNumber[position] = hexDigits[i];
position++;
break;
}
}
binaryNumber /= 10000;
}
hexaDecimalNumber[position] = '\0';
strrev(hexaDecimalNumber);
printf("Hexadecimal Number : %s", hexaDecimalNumber);
return 0;
}
Output
Enter a Binary Number 10010101 Hexadecimal Number : 95
Enter a Binary Number 10001111 Hexadecimal Number : 8F
