ive been working on the binary to decimal converter program. not having a fun time with it!!
this is what i have:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
int main ( void ){
/* variables */
int decimalValue = 0;
int counter = 0;
int nextDigit = 0;
char binary = 0;
/* begin */
printf("Please enter a binary string of 1's and 0's: ");
scanf("%c",&binary);
/* get 1st digit of binary */
nextDigit = binary % 10;
while( binary )
{
if( nextDigit != 0 )
{
decimalValue += (int) pow(2,counter);
}
counter++;
/* get next digit of binary */
binary = binary / 10;
nextDigit = binary % 10;
}
printf("The Value is %i in decimal\n",decimalValue);
system ("PAUSE");
return 0;
} /* main */
it likes to return 3 as an answer no matter what. i cant figure out where its going wrong :(
