Numeral System Converter

A lightweight Numeral System Converter written in C that converts numbers from any base to any base. The project is designed to be simple, portable, and educational, demonstrating base conversion logic and modular C project structure.

Features

• Convert numbers between arbitrary numeral bases

• Supports common bases:

  • Binary (base 2)
  • Octal (base 8)
  • Decimal (base 10)
  • Hexadecimal (base 16)

• Written in pure C

• Modular project structure (Src, Inc, Build)

• Simple Makefile-based build system

Build Requirements

• GCC (or compatible C compiler)
• GNU Make

Build Instructions

To compile the project, run:

make

This will:

• Create the Build/ directory (if it does not exist)
• Compile all .c source files
• Generate the executable:

Build/main.o

Usage

After building, run the program with:

./Build/main.o

[number] [format]

• number – The input number. Its base is automatically detected using common prefixes.
• format – The desired output format.

Supported Input Formats

The base of the input number is determined as follows:

Prefix	Base	Example
0b	Binary	0b1010
0x	Hexadecimal	0x1F
0	Octal	075
none	Decimal	42

Clean

To remove build files:

make clean
