Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

  1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:

Design an algorithm that accepts an input a decimal number and converts it into BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) representation. Also, draw its Flow Chart. :frowning:

  1. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:

UNIX

  1. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):

1:[enter the number]
read n
2:[find the length]
leng=length(n)
a=0
3:[perform the conversion]

for i=0 to leng-1
n1=n1%2[to take the right most digit]

  for j=0 to 3
     n2=n1%2[to take the reminder]
     ans[a]=n2
     a\+\+
     n1=n1/2
  end for

n=n/10[to take the number except the right digit]
end for

[print the number]

fori=a-1 to 0
print ans
[i]end
