C Program to convert binary number into its equivalent Decimal, Octal, and Hexadecimal representations. In this program we convert a binary number to decimal. Then convert that decimal number to octal and Hexadecimal equivalent.
The program implements various functions to do the job.
- binary_to_decimal : Convert given binary number to it’s decimal equivalent
- decimal_to_octal : Convert from decimal to octal
- decimal_to_hex : Convert from decimal to hexadecimal
The main function takes care of getting input from user, calling the above functions and displaying the results.
