Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) is a method of representing a decimal number as a hexadecimal value using the hex digits 0-9 and ignoring A-F. For example, the number 21 (hex &15) would be represented as &21 (decimal 33). It can be a convenient internal representation of decimal numbers as each hexadecimal digit can be displayed without any further processing. See Wikipedia. BCD values can be decoded with:
number% = VALSTR$~bcd%
Numbers can be encoded in BCD using:
bcd% = EVAL("&"+STR$number%)
A 7-bit binary number can be converted to BCD so it can be printed in hex with the following 6502 code:
\ Convert binary number to BCD \ ---------------------------- \ On entry, A=value 0-99 \ On exit, A=BCD value &00-&99 \ X corrupted .BINtoBCD TAX :\ Transfer number to X LDA #&99 :\ Start with -1 in BCD form SED :\ Switch to Decimal arithmetic .BINtoBCDlp CLC:ADC #1 :\ Add 1 with BCD arithmetic DEX :\ Decrement input value in X BPL BINtoBCDlp :\ Loop until input value < 0 CLD:RTS :\ Switch back to Binary arithmetic
See also Discussion for an enhanced implementation.
A BCD number can be converted to binary with the following 6502 code:
