How to Convert Binary to Decimal in Java

Today let us know about How to Convert Binary to decimal in Java but before all let us know about Binary and Decimal numbers a bit.  A binary number system is one of the four types of the number system. In computer applications, where binary numbers are represented by only two symbols or digits, 0(zero) and 1(one). The binary numbers here are expressed in the base-2 numeral system. For example, (101) is a binary number.

Decimal is a term that describes the base-10 number system, probably the most commonly used number system. The decimal number system consists of ten single-digit numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The number after 9 is 10.

 

What’s the approach?

• Import the java.util package into the class.

 

• Create the Main Function

 

• Declare a Scanner Class to Accept input from the user.

 

• Initialize 4 long variables

 

• Check if the input from the user is not equal to zero

 

• Extract the last digit by using modulus.

 

• The decimal number is calculated as per the formula.

 

• Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the number equals zero. After each iteration number is changed to number/10.

 

• Print the decimal number.

        long dec = 0;

        long j = 1;

        long remainder;

        System.out.print("Input a binary number: ");

        //Accpeting users input

        bin = sc.nextLong();

        //Converting to Decimal

        while (bin != 0)

        {

            remainder = bin % 10;

            dec = dec + remainder * j;

            j = j * 2;

            bin = bin / 10;

        }

        //Printing

        System.out.println("Decimal Number: " + dec);

    }

}

Output:-
