Bin, Hex, ASCII...

[UmaGrama]

Hello,

My question is: how can I display a number in another base (hex, bin) without having it converted to decimal when it is compiled?

Thanks

Number is always stored in memory in binary format. So compille does not convert the to decimal. To any bases you could convert only the human readable string which repersents your number.

So you are saying that I would have to convert it myself and turn it into a string?

To print out a value as hex it's only nessecary to give the format parameter as %X in stead of %u (or %d).

To print a value as binary you need to make a routine to convert it.

it should eb something like this pseudocode:

xx = 0x4D2;//the hex representation of 1234
temp = xx;
base = ...;
result = "";
while(temp != 0)
{
temp -= last;
temp /= base;
last = temp % base;
result = temp concat to result;
}
cout<< result<< endl;
