Binary to Decimal Number Converter Flowchart

Let’s create a Binary to Decimal Number Converter flowchart using the RAPTOR application. Let’s understand the binary code.

Binary Code

Binary code is a system of representing text, computer instructions, or any other data using a two-symbol system, consisting of “0” and “1”

A binary unit is known as a “bit” (short for binary digit). It is the smallest unit of digital information that a computer can understand. It is stored in a series of zeros(0) and ones(1). A digital computer thinks by relying on zeros and ones for all information.

Decimal Number

Decimal numbers are numbers represented in the base-10 numeral system, which is the most common system used in everyday life. This system uses ten digits.

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Unlike the decimal system (base-10) that uses ten digits (0-9), binary code uses only two digits: 0 and 1.

Example

Let’s convert a simple binary code into a decimal number.

Binary = 101

Decimal = 1*2^2 + 0*2^1 + 1*2^0

= 4 + 0 + 1

= 5

Pseudocode

START
Dim digit
Dim quotient
Dim bNumber
Dim dNumber
Dim i

PROMPT "Enter binary number="
Input bNumber 
dNumber = 0
quotient = bNumber
i = 0
Do Until quotient = 0
digit = quotient Mod 10
quotient = floor(quotient / 10)
dNumber = dNumber + (digit * 2 ^ i)
i = i + 1
Loop
Output "Given Binary number=" + bNumber
Output "Equivalent Decimal Number=" + dNumber

END
