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, ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Instructables member APTechnologies has created the “ultimate binary watch” using a few 3D printed components, binary RGB interface and clean design. “I recently got introduced to the concept of ...

Decimal arithmetic is indispensable in applications where precision is paramount, such as in financial, commercial and scientific domains. The inherent challenges of decimal computation, particularly ...
