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, ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Binary Coded Decimal (or packed decimal, comp-3) Crazy Diamond Apr 3, 2007 Jump to latest Follow Reply ...

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 ...

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

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.

[Daniel] put together an explanation about the use of 4511 BCD 7-segment drivers. These chips take binary data in and output decimal data to a 7-segment LED display.

When decimal numbers are within the range of 0 to 9, their binary and BCD representations are identical, requiring only four bits (0000 to 1001).
