Java Exercises: Convert a octal number to a hexadecimal number

Java Basic: Exercise-27 with Solution

Write a Java program to convert a octal number to a hexadecimal number.

Octal number: The octal numeral system is the base-8 number system, and uses the digits 0 to 7.

Hexadecimal number: This is a positional numeral system with a radix, or base, of 16. Hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols 0-9 to represent values zero to nine, and A, B, C, D, E, F (or alternatively a, b, c, d, e, f) to represent values ten to fifteen.

Test Data:
Input any octal number: 100

Pictorial Presentation: Octal to Hexadecimal number

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Exercise27 {
public static void main(String args[])
    {
        String octal_num, hex_num;
        int decnum;
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
		
        System.out.print("Input a octal number : ");
        octal_num = in.nextLine();
		
        decnum = Integer.parseInt(octal_num, 8);
        hex_num = Integer.toHexString(decnum);
		
        System.out.print("Equivalent hexadecimal number: "+ hex_num+"\n");
     }
}

Sample Output:

Input a octal number : 100                                                                                    
Equivalent hexadecimal number: 40
