Binary to Hexadecimal Conversion

by admin · June 18, 2020

“Binary to Hexadecimal Conversion” is one of the classic programming exercise problem. Here, we are given a Binary Number, entered by user and our task is to write a program to convert the given binary number to its equivalent hexadecimal number.

Example (Binary to Hexadecimal Conversion):

Binary = 100011011
Hexadecimal = 11B

The steps required for Binary to Hexadecimal Conversion are as follows:

Make sure the number of digits in binary number is divisible by 4. If not, add extra 0s in front.
Divide the binary number into pairs of 4-digit binary number.
Convert each 4-digit binary number pair to its Hexadecimal character.
Combine all the Hexadecimal characters and store into temporary variable as ‘Hexadecimal’.
Print the result.

C++ Program for Binary to Hexadecimal Conversion is as follows:

/* C++ Program for Binary to Hexadecimal Conversion*/  
#include<bits/stdc++.h>  
using namespace std;  
int main()  
{  
    /* Scan the Binary Number */  
    string Binary;  
    cout<<"Enter the Binary Number: ";  
    cin>>Binary;  
      
    /* Converting Binary to Hexadecimal*/  
      
    /* Make sure the number of digits in 'Binary'  
       Number is divisible by 4. If not, add  
       required 0s in front*/  
    while(Binary.length() % 4 != 0)  
    {  
        Binary.insert(0,"0");  
    }  
      
    /* Converting each digit of Binary number 
       into 4-digit binary number pair and convert 
       each pair to its corresponding Hexadecimal 
       character 
    */  
    string Hexadecimal = "";  
    for(int i = 0; i < Binary.length(); i=i+4)  
    {  
        string temp;  
        temp = temp + Binary[i];  
        temp = temp + Binary[i+1];  
        temp = temp + Binary[i+2];  
        temp = temp + Binary[i+3];  
        if(temp == "0000")  
            Hexadecimal += '0';  
        else if(temp == "0001")  
            Hexadecimal += '1';  
        else if(temp == "0010")   
            Hexadecimal += '2';  
        else if(temp == "0011")  
            Hexadecimal += '3';  
        else if(temp == "0100")  
            Hexadecimal += '4';  
        else if(temp == "0101")  
            Hexadecimal += '5';  
        else if(temp == "0110")  
            Hexadecimal += '6';  
        else if(temp == "0111")  
            Hexadecimal += '7';  
        else if(temp == "1000")  
            Hexadecimal += '8';  
        else if(temp == "1001")  
            Hexadecimal += '9';  
        else if(temp == "1010")  
            Hexadecimal += 'A';  
        else if(temp == "1011")  
            Hexadecimal += 'B';  
        else if(temp == "1100")  
            Hexadecimal += 'C';  
        else if(temp == "1101")  
            Hexadecimal += 'D';  
        else if(temp == "1110")  
            Hexadecimal += 'E';  
        else if(temp == "1111")  
            Hexadecimal += 'F';  
    }  
      
    /*Printing the result */  
    cout<<"The Hexadecimal of "<<Binary<<" is "<<Hexadecimal;  
}

OUTPUT:
Enter the Binary Number: 100011011
The Hexadecimal of 000100011011 is 11B
