The solution he came up with is to use the Python interpreter as a binary math aide. We knew that you could use Python to convert between decimal, hexadecimal, and binary.

How would I convert that to an actual num? If I use int (), Python assumes decimal and creates a number that's much, much bigger (in the above example, it would return the # 101101 instead of 45).

Here's a C/C++ program that converts decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 99,999 to binary and BCD formats. Using a simple algorithm in conjunction with pointer arithmetic and bitwise ...
