VTU C PROGRAMMING LAB – 15] Write a Program to Convert a Binary Number into a Decimal Number.

15. C PROGRAMMING – Algorithm

• Step-1: Start
• Step-2: Read the binary number value
• Step-3: Call the function find by passing arguments
• Step-4: Check if number entered is zero than return 0 otherwise compute using formula-
  • ( pow ( 2, count ) * ( x % 10 ) + find ( x /10 , count + 1 ) )
• Step-5: Repeat the step-4 until recursive condition find becomes false
• Step-6: Return the result of converted number
• Step-7: Stop

C PROGRAMMING -15 Program source code

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <math.h> 
int find(int x, int count)
{
if (x == 0) 
return 0; 
else
return(pow(2, count) * (x%10 ) + find(x/10 ,count+1)); 
} 
void main()
{
int binary; 
printf("Enter a Binary number");
scanf ("%d",&binary); 
printf(" The decimal value for binary %d is",binary); 
printf("%d", find(binary,0)); 
}

Output

Enter a Binary number

1010

The decimal value for binary number 1010 is 10
