How To Convert Hexadecimal To Octal In C++

In this article, we are going to learn how to convert Hexadecimal to Octal in C++. Here we are going to learn about two number systems one is Hexadecimal and another is Octal. Hexadecimal numbers are base 16 numbers and represented in numbers from 0 to 9 and A to F.Octal numbers are base 8 numbers and represented in numbers from 0 to 7.

Decimal Number	Binary Number	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

How to convert Hexadecimal to Octal

In this example, we are going to convert a hex number to an octal number. But this is a two-step process, so first, we are going to convert the hexadecimal number to a binary number and then the binary number to an octal number.

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

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char hexNum[17];
    long long octalNum, binNum, place;
    int  rem, val;

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

    octalNum    = 0ll;
    binNum   = 0ll;
    place    = 0ll;

   
    for(int i=0; hexNum[i]!='#include<iostream>

binNum   = 0ll;
