Loop Exercises
Write a C program to input Octal number from user and convert to Decimal number system. How to convert from Octal number system to Decimal number system in C program. Logic to convert octal to decimal number system in C programming.
Required knowledge
Basic C programming, While loop
Octal number system
Octal number system is a base 8 number system. Octal number system uses 8 symbols to represent all its numbers i.e. 01234567
Decimal number system
Decimal number system is a base 10 number system. Decimal number system uses 10 symbols to represent all its numbers i.e. 0123456789
Logic to convert from octal to decimal
Algorithm Conversion Octal to Binary
begin:
read(octal);
decimal ? 0; rem ? 0; place ? 0;
While(octal !=0)
begin:
rem ? octal % 10;
decimal ? decimal + (8place * rem);
octal ? octal / 10;
place ? place + 1;
end;
write('Decimal =' decimal);
end;
Program to convert octal to decimal number system
/**
* C program to convert Octal number system to Decimal number system
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main()
{
long long octal, tempOctal, decimal;
int rem, place;
/* Input octal number from user */
printf("Enter any octal number: ");
scanf("%lld", &octal);
tempOctal = octal;
decimal = 0;
place = 0;
/*
* Convert octal to decimal
*/
while(tempOctal > 0)
{
/* Extract the last digit of octal */
rem = tempOctal % 10;
/* Convert last octal digit to decimal */
decimal += pow(8, place) * rem;
/* Remove the last octal digit */
tempOctal /= 10;
place++;
}
printf("Octal number = %lld\n", octal);
printf("Decimal number = %lld", decimal);
return 0;
}
Output
Enter any octal number: 172
Octal number = 172
Decimal number = 122
