Conversion of Hex decimal to integer value using C language
Problem
How to convert the hexadecimal value to integer value by using the C programming language?
Explain the concept.
Solution
Hexadecimal values represent in 16 symbols 1 to 9 & A to F. Here, A to F decimal equivalent is 10 to 15.
Example
Following is the C program for converting hexadecimal to an integer by using functions −
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<math.h>
int hextodc(char *hex){
int y = 0;
int dec = 0;
int x, i;
for(i = strlen(hex) - 1 ; i >= 0 ; --i)//{
if(hex[i]>='0'&&hex[i]<='9'){
x = hex[i] - '0';
}
else{
x = hex[i] - 'A' + 10;
}
dec = dec + x * pow(16 , y);// converting hexadecimal to integer value ++y;
}
return dec;
}
int main(){
char hex[100];
printf("Enter Hexadecimal: ");
scanf("%s", hex);
printf("
Decimal: %d", hextodc(hex));
return 0;
}Output
When the above program is executed, it produces the following result −
1. Enter Hexadecimal: A Decimal: 10 2. Enter Hexadecimal: A12 Decimal: 2578
Explanation
Scan all characters of Hex from Right-To-Left
Let scanned character be A.
Convert A to appropriate decimal form and store it in x.
dec = dec + x * 16y
y= y + 1.
Return decimal.
We can also scan the Hexadecimal value from Left-To-Right but, we must initialize y as y = N – 1 and decrement y on each iteration. N is the length of Hexadecimal.
