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.

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, ...

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 ...

Abstract: An all-optical binary-coded decimal (BCD) adder with the help of Terahertz Optical Asymmetric Demultiplexer (TOAD) is proposed and described. The paper describes the all optical BCD adder by ...

In an era where automation, electronics, and real-time computing are everywhere, BCD (Binary-Coded Decimal) counters are the unsung heroes ensuring accuracy, reliability, and simplicity in numerical ...

In the computer, all data are represented as binary digits (bits), and eight binary digits make up one byte. For example, the upper case letter A is 0101001. Numbers however can take several forms.

A simulator for generating an unpacked, packed, or densely packed binary-coded decimal (BCD) from a decimal, and for translating a densely packed BCD into decimal. Converting a decimal into unpacked ...
