Of course, there’s no reason we can’t just store decimal digits. That’s call binary coded decimal or BCD and that has some advantages, too.

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, ...

Binary code, also known as the binary system, is a base-2 numbering system that uses a series of 0s and 1s to represent numbers. The position of these 0s and 1s indicates the presence or absence ...

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 ...

They can retain their decimal identity or they can be in pure binary form. See binary and ASCII chart. Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) BCD encodes each decimal digit in a single byte.

Technical Terms BCD (Binary-Coded Decimal): A numeral system in which each digit of a decimal number is represented by its binary equivalent.

The binary watch would operate just like a regular watch except that the interface would be binary, specifically, BCD (Binary Coded Decimal). BCD is a type of binary encoding where each decimal ...

The following chart shows normal binary representations from 1 to 10 and the corresponding Gray code. Decimal Binary Gray Digit Code Code 0 0000 0000 1 0001 0001 ...

These chips take binary data in and output decimal data to a 7-segment LED display. In short, they can read 0b1001 from input pins and light the numeral ‘9’ on the display.
