1.1. REPRESENTING INTEGERS 3<br />

Algorithm 1.1 To convert a binary number to decimal.<br />

• Let X be a binary number, n digits in length, composed of bits Xn−1 · · · X0.<br />

• Let D be a decimal number.<br />

• Let i be a counter.<br />

1. Let D = 0.<br />

2. Let i = 0.<br />

3. While i < n do:<br />

• If Xi == 1 (i.e. if bit i in X is 1), then set D = (D + 2 i ).<br />

• Set i = (i + 1).<br />

Figure 1.2: Examples of Conversion from Binary to Decimal<br />

Binary Decimal<br />

00000000 = 0 = 0 = 0<br />

00000101 = 2 2 + 2 0 = 4 + 1 = 5<br />

00000110 = 2 2 + 2 1 = 4 + 2 = 6<br />

00101101 = 2 5 + 2 3 + 2 2 + 2 0 = 32 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 45<br />

10110000 = 2 7 + 2 5 + 2 4 = 128 + 32 + 16 = 176
