Here is a Java program to convert decimal number to binary number. In this java program, we will take a decimal number as input from user and then convert it to binary number. Before jumping into java program, here is the brief introduction of binary and decimal number systems.
- Binary number system is base 2 number system and uses 0 and 1 digits. For Example: 0, 1, 01, 101, 1101
- Decimal number system is a base 10 number system using digits for 0 to 9. For Example: 6, 3, 12, 10, 123
Algorithm to convert decimal to binary number
- Divide the input decimal number by 2 and store the remainder.
- Store the quotient back to the input number variable.
- Repeat this process till quotient becomes zero.
- Equivalent binary number will be the remainders in above process in reverse order.
Suppose input decimal number is 12
Step 1. 12/2 , Remainder = 0, Quotient = 6
Step 2. 6/2 , Remainder = 0, Quotient = 3
Step 3. 3/2 , Remainder = 1, Quotient = 1
Step 4. 1/2 , Remainder = 1, Quotient = 0
Now, the Binary equivalent of 12 is the remainders in reverse order : 1100
Java Program to convert Decimal to Binary Number
package com.tcc.java.programs;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class DecimalToBinary {
public static void main(String[] args) {
long dec;
Scanner scanner;
scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a Decimal Number");
dec = scanner.nextLong();
// Calling decimalToBinary method to convert decimal
// number to binary
System.out.println("Binary Number : " + decimalToBinary(dec));
}
public static long decimalToBinary(long n) {
long remainder, binary = 0, i = 1;
while (n != 0) {
remainder = n % 2;
n = n / 2;
binary = binary + (remainder * i);
i = i * 10;
}
return binary;
}
}
Output
Enter a Decimal Number 20 Binary Number : 10100
Enter a Decimal Number 16 Binary Number : 10000
