Hex Value $24 to DEC value 24

Humpe

Hi

I have encoutered a small problem. The output from my clock is in HEX, $24 is the minutes or seconds in DEC 24. Now i want to represent the output value binary with diods but of course it doesnt get quite right.

I need to transform the value $24 to the decimal value 24 (or the binary value 24). Is there short solution for this with Pbasic ?

Your hex value is "binary-coded decimal" (BCD). Here's the code to convert:

decimal = bcd >> 4 * 10 + (bcd & $0F)

Thanks a lot Phil.



(You dont want to see my lookup table for this :-))

or

decimal = bcd.nib1*10+bcd.nib0

Tracy,

I'll see your twelve bytes and raise you four! ('Forgot about the NIBs!)

Humpe,

Use Tracy's method. It generates less code.
