 LAB # 01

Statement Purpose:
This lab will give you practical implementation of conversions and arithmetic on unsigned and
signed integers and real numbers among different radices of decimal, binary, and hexadecimals using
programs in JAVA.

Activity Outcomes:
This lab teaches you the following topics:

Conversions between different radices.

Representations of signed and unsigned integer numbers.
Representation of floating pint numbers.
Arithmetic operations on numbers of all types.

Instructor Note:
As pre-lab activity, read Chapter 1 section 1.3 from the book (Assembly Language for X86
processors, KIP R. IRVINE., 7th Edition (2015), Pearson), and also as given by your theory
instructor.

Introduction
Everything suited for processing with digital computers is represented as a sequence of 0s and 1s,
whether it be numeric data, text, executable files, images, audio, or video. The meaning of a given
sequence of bits within a computer depends on the context. In this section we describe how to
represent integers in binary, decimal, and hexadecimal and how to convert between different
representations. We also describe how to represent negative integers and floating-point numbers

2) Stage a1 (apply)
Lab Activities:

Activity 1:
Hexadecimal to decimal and binary conversion, This Java program will convert Hexadecimal
number to decimal, binary and Octal in Java programming language using JDK standard API
methods. For beginners hexadecimal is base 16 number, while decimal is base 10, Octal is base 8
and binary is base 2 numbers in Number systems. Binary only contains 0 and 1 bits, octal contains 0
to 7, decimal contains 0 to 9 and Hexadecimal contains 0-9, A, B, C, D, E, F where F represent 15.
Thankfully Java library provides convenient method to convert any integer fromone number system
to another.

Solution:
Java API provides two methods which is used in converting number from one number system to
other. One is Integer.parseInt() which is used to convert String to Integer in Java but also allows you
to specify radix.

* Java program to convert Hexadecimal to binary, decimal and Octal in Java.

* Hexadecimal is base 16, Decimal number is base 10, Octal is base 8
* and Binary is base 2 number which has just two numbers 0 and 1.

public class ConvertHexaToDecimal {
public static void main(String args[]) {
// Ask user to enter an Hexadecimal number in Console
System.out.println("Please enter Hexadecimal number : ");
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

String hexadecimal = scanner.next();

5
 //Converting Hexa decimal number to Decimal in Java
int decimal = Integer.parseInt(hexadecimal, 16);

System.out.println("Converted Decimal number is : " + decimal);

//Converting hexa decimal number to binary in Java

String binary = Integer.toBinaryString(decimal);
System.out.printf("Hexadecimal to Binary conversion of %s is %s %n", hexadecimal,
binary );

// Converting Hex String to Octal in Java

String octal = Integer.toOctalString(decimal);
System.out.printf("Hexadecimal to Octal conversion of %s is %s %n", hexadecimal, octal );
}
}

Output:
Please enter Hexadecimal number :
A
Converted Decimal number is : 10
Hexadecimal to Binary conversion of A is 1010
Hexadecimal to Octal conversion of A is 12

Activity 2:

Example shows how to convert binary to decimal in

JAVA.

Solution:
Create Java Main Class and named it Binary_Decimal.
Copy the Code and test it by running the application

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Binary_Decimal {

Scanner scan;

int num;

6
 void getVal() {

System.out.println("Binary to Decimal");

scan = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("\nEnter the number :");

num = Integer.parseInt(scan.nextLine(), 2);

void convert() {

String decimal = Integer.toString(num);

System.out.println("Decimal Value is : " + decimal);

class MainClass {

public static void main(String args[]) {

Binary_Decimalobj = new Binary_Decimal();

obj.getVal();

obj.convert();

Activity 3:
The example below, how to convert from binary to
Octal in JAVA.

7
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Binary_Octal {

Scanner scan;

int num;

void getVal() {

System.out.println("Binary to Octal");

scan = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("\nEnter the number :");

num = Integer.parseInt(scan.nextLine(), 2);

void convert() {

String octal = Integer.toOctalString(num);

System.out.println("Octal Value is : " + octal);

class MainClass {

public static void main(String args[]) {

Binary_Octalobj = new Binary_Octal();

obj.getVal();

obj.convert();

8
Activity 4:
Here it is demonstrated how to convert from binary
to hexadecimal.
Solution:
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Binary_Hexa {

Scanner scan;

int num;

void getVal() {

System.out.println("Binary to Hexadecimal");

scan = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("\nEnter the number :");

num = Integer.parseInt(scan.nextLine(), 2);

void convert() {

String hexa = Integer.toHexString(num);

System.out.println("Hexadecimal Value is : " + hexa);

class MainClass {

9
 public static void main(String args[]) {

Binary_Hexaobj = new Binary_Hexa();

obj.getVal();

obj.convert();

Activity 5:
Here your job is to write a function that takes an
integer input and returns the number of 1's in its
binary representation.
Solution:

public static int bitCount(int input) {

int count = 0;

for (int i = 0; i< 32; i++)

count = count + (input >>>i& 1);

return count;

public static int bitCount(int x) {

if (x == 0) return 0;

10
 return (x & 1) + bitCount(x >>> 1);

This is how Integer.bitCount() is implemented by Java. See if you can figure out how it works.

public static int bitCount(int i) {

i = i - ((i>>> 1) & 0x55555555);

i = (i& 0x33333333) + ((i>>> 2) & 0x33333333);

i = (i + (i>>> 4)) & 0x0f0f0f0f;

i = i + (i>>> 8);

i = i + (i>>> 16);

return i& 0x3f;
