How To Convert Hexadecimal To Binary In C++

In this article, we are going to learn How to convert Hexadecimal to Binary in C++. Here we are going to learn about two number systems one is binary and another is Hexadecimal. Hexadecimal numbers are base 16 numbers and represented in numbers from 0 to 9 and A to F.Binary numbers are base 2 numbers and represented in 0s and 1s.

Decimal Number	Binary Numbers	Hexadecimal Number
0	0000	0
1	0001	1
2	0010	2
3	0011	3
4	0100	4
5	0101	5
6	0110	6
7	0111	7
8	1000	8
9	1001	9
10	1010	A
11	1011	B
12	1100	C
13	1101	D
14	1110	E
15	1111	F

C++ program to convert Hexadecimal to binary

In this c++ program, we are converting Hexadecimal to a binary number system by writing some logic without any built-in function.

#include<iostream>
#include <string.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char hexNum[16+1] = "";
    char binNum[64+1] = "";
    

    cout << "Please enter a Hexadecimal Number: ";
    cin >> hexNum;

    
    for(int k=0; hexNum[k] != '#include<iostream>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char hexNum[16+1] = "";
char binNum[64+1] = "";
cout << "Please enter a Hexadecimal Number: ";
cin >> hexNum;
for(int k=0; hexNum[k] != '\0'; k++)

    }
 
    cout << "\nThe Binary equivalent of HexaDecimal number " <<  hexNum << " is " << binNum;  

    return 0;
}

Output

Please enter a Hexadecimal Number: f

The Binary equivalent of HexaDecimal number f is 1111


Please enter a Hexadecimal Number: 7f

The Binary equivalent of HexaDecimal number 7f is 01111111
