C Program to Convert Decimal Number to Hexadecimal Number

C Program to Convert Decimal number into Hexadecimal :

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<math.h>
void dec_hex(long int num)   // Function Definition
{
long int rem[50],i=0,length=0;
while(num>0)
   {
      rem[i]=num%16;
      num=num/16;
      i++;
      length++;
   }
printf("Hexadecimal number : ");
for(i=length-1;i>=0;i--)
  {
    switch(rem[i])
    {
      case 10:
          printf("A");
          break;
      case 11:
          printf("B");
          break;
      case 12:
          printf("C");
          break;
      case 13:
          printf("D");
          break;
      case 14:
          printf("E");
          break;
      case 15:
          printf("F");
          break;
      default :
         printf("%ld",rem[i]);
    }
  }
}
//================================================
void main()
{
long int num;
clrscr();
 printf("Enter the decimal number : ");
 scanf("%ld",&num);
    dec_hex(num);   // Calling function
 getch();
}

#include<stdio.h>

#include<conio.h>

#include<math.h>

void dec_hex(long int num) // Function Definition

{

long int rem[50],i=0,length=0;

while(num>0)

{

rem[i]=num%16;

num=num/16;

i++;

length++;

}

printf("Hexadecimal number : ");

for(i=length-1;i>=0;i--)

{

switch(rem[i])

{

case 10:

printf("A");

break;

case 11:

printf("B");

break;

case 12:

printf("C");

break;

case 13:

printf("D");

break;

case 14:

printf("E");

break;

case 15:

printf("F");

break;

default :

printf("%ld",rem[i]);

}

//================================================

void main()

{

long int num;

clrscr();

printf("Enter the decimal number : ");

scanf("%ld",&num);

dec_hex(num); // Calling function

getch();

}

Output :

Enter the decimal number : 87274
Hexadecimal number : 154EA

1 2	Enter the decimal number : 87274 Hexadecimal number : 154EA

Logic of This Program :

In this program firstly we need to accept decimal number from the user using following statement -

printf("Enter the decimal number : ");
scanf("%ld",&num);

1 2	printf("Enter the decimal number : "); scanf("%ld",&num);

Now after accepting the number we are calling the function which can evaluate equivalent hexadecimal number.

dec_hex(num);   // Calling function

1	dec_hex(num); // Calling function

Inside the function we have declared 3 variables. Below table will explain the significance of each and every variable used inside the function.

Variable	Significance of the Variable
num	This variable is used to store the actual decimal number. We are dividing this variable for finding the remainder and quotient.
rem[50]	It is remainder array which is used to store the reminder when we divide the number by 16.
i	Used as subscript variable for remainder array i.e rem
length	It is used to keep track of the size of a reminder array.

Now perform below steps until the number becomes less than 0 -

Divide the number with 16 and store reminder in an array
Divide the number with 16 and store quotient in num variable
Increment i and length

while(num > 0)
   {
      rem[i] = num % 16;
      num = num / 16;
      i++;
      length++;
   }

while(num > 0)

{

rem[i] = num % 16;

num = num / 16;

i++;

length++;

}

After coming out of the loop. We need to print reminder in reverse fashion. Now consider the following table in order to print array -

Remainder	Display this
10	A
11	B
12	C
13	D
14	E
15	F

In order to print reminders greater than 10 , refer above table. This can be done with switch case.

case 10:
      printf("A");
      break;
case 11:
      printf("B");
      break;

case 10:

printf("A");

break;

case 11:

printf("B");

break;
