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 ...

Converting Hex to BCD sounds simple, but I've been trying to figure this out for hours without much to show for the effort (a search didn't reveal anything very helpful either).<P>I'm trying to ...

Not all chainrings fit all cranksets. Most chainrings mount via a four- or five-arm ‘spider’ (the arms/spokes on the crankset). The spacing between these arms differs based on the intended gear range ...

My last column introduced the concepts underlying BCD (binary-coded-decimal) representations. In particular, we considered unsigned versus 10s-complement versions of BCD numbers. In this column we are ...

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, ...

In the first column of this series, I introduced the concepts underlying BCD (binary-coded-decimal) representations. In my second column I discussed how we go about adding and subtracting unsigned BCD ...
