In this tutorial, we will write a C++ program to convert a binary number into octal using while loop. Before that, you must have knowledge of the following topics in C++.
Binary number
The binary numbers are based on 0 and 1, so it is a base 2 number. They are the combination of 0 and 1. For example, 1001, 110101, etc.
Octal number
The octal numbers are the numbers with base 8 and use the digits 0 to 7. Example: 8 in decimal is represented as 10 in octal, 25 as 31, and so on.
Let us go through a program for the Binary to Octal Conversion in C++.
C++ Program to Convert Binary to Octal
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 | #include <iostream> #include <cmath> using namespace std; //user defined function int conversionFunc(int binNumber) { int octNumber = 0, deciNum = 0, i = 0; while (binNumber != 0) { deciNum += (binNumber % 10) *pow(2, i); ++i; binNumber /= 10; } i = 1; while (deciNum != 0) { octNumber += (deciNum % 8) *i; deciNum /= 8; i *= 10; } return octNumber; } // MAIN Function int main() { int binNumber, result; cout << "Enter a binary number: "; cin >> binNumber; result = conversionFunc(binNumber); cout << "Equivalent Octal value: " << result; return 0; } |
Output:
Enter a binary number: 1101110
Equivalent Octal value: 156
