C Program to convert Binary Number into Decimal Number

In this blog, we will discuss the conversion of the given binary number into a decimal number.

For example, the decimal equivalent of binary number 1010 is 10 which can be depicted as follows:

Binary to Decimal
Consider the binary number from the last.
For the above mentioned example,

0 * 2^0 = 0
1 * 2^1 = 2
0 * 2^2 = 0
1 * 2^3 = 8

Decimal number = 0 + 2 + 0 + 8 = 10

Algorithm:

1. Input the binary number

2. Multiply each digit of the binary number with the power of 2 and add each multiplication result

3. The power starts from 0 to n-1 where n is the total number of digits in the binary number

Implementation using C:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>

int convert(long int n)
{
    int decimal = 0, i = 0, remainder;
    while(n!=0)
    {
        remainder = n%10;
        n = n/10;
        decimal = decimal + remainder*pow(2,i);
        i++; 
    }
    return decimal;
}

int main()
{
    long int n;
    printf("Enter a binary number: ");
    scanf("%ld",&n);
    printf("\n Decimal number : %d \n",convert(n));
    return 0;
}

Output:
Enter a binary number : 1010
Decimal number : 10
