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, ...

Over the last few months I've come to the conclusion that most of us have an innate faith that we understand the concepts behind BCD (binary coded decimal), but that in reality the majority of us ...

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.

This header-only library provides a native binary-coded decimal type. Wikipedia It provides an integer type library that stores its values in BCD format instead of pure binary. See the test program ...

The BCD Arithmetic Simulator is an interactive web application that visually demonstrates Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) arithmetic operations — addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division — ...

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 ...

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.
