Hexadecimal to Decimal Conversion in Java
Hexadecimal to Decimal Conversion
Here we will learn the concept of hexadecimal conversion to decimal also learn to code it in java.
Hexadecimal numbers range [ 0, 15 ]
- [ 1, 9 ] same as integer
- [ 10, 15 ] as [ ‘A’, ‘F’ ]
Hexadecimal Working :
As discussed in hexadecimal numbers range [ 0, 15 ]. Where [ 0, 9 ] are represented same as integer values but after 9 alphabets are used as shown below :
- A = 10
- B = 11
- C = 12
- D = 13
- E = 14
- F = 15
How To Convert From Hexadecimal to Decimal Manually?
For a user input num. This requires you to know ASCII values, please check the ASCII table here
To convert a hexadecimal to a decimal manually, you must start by multiplying the hex number by 16. Then, you raise it to a power of 0 and increase that power by 1 each time according to the hexadecimal number equivalent.
We start from the right of the hexadecimal number and go to the left when applying the powers. Each time you multiply a number by 16, the power of 16 increases.
When converting a C9 hexadecimal to a decimal your work should look something like this:
Example :
- 9 = 9 * (16 ^ 0) = 9
- C = 12 * (16 ^ 1) = 192
Then, we add the results.
- 192 + 9 = 201
| Hexadecimal | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | A | B | C | D | E | F |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 |
Java Code
class Main
{
public static void main (String[]args)
{
String hex = "C9";
System.out.println (convert (hex));
}
static int convert(String hex){
String digits = "0123456789ABCDEF";
hex = hex.toUpperCase();
int val = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < hex.length(); i++)
{
char c = hex.charAt(i);
int d = digits.indexOf(c);
val = 16*val + d;
}
return val;
}
}
Output
Decimal value of C9 is 201
