C++ Program to Convert Octal Number to Decimal and vice-versa

To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following C++ programming topics:

Example 1: Convert Octal Number to Decimal


              
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int octalToDecimal(int octalNumber);

int main()
{
   int octalNumber;
   cout << "Enter an octal number: ";
   cin >> octalNumber;
   cout << octalNumber << " in octal = " << octalToDecimal(octalNumber) << " in decimal";

   return 0;
}

// Function to convert octal number to decimal
int octalToDecimal(int octalNumber)
{
    int decimalNumber = 0, i = 0, rem;
    while (octalNumber != 0)
    {
        rem = octalNumber % 10;
        octalNumber /= 10;
        decimalNumber += rem * pow(8, i);
        ++i;
    }
    return decimalNumber;
}

Output


              
Enter an octal number: 2341
2341 in octal = 1249 in decimal

In the program, the octal number is stored in the variable octalNumber and passed to function octalToDecimal().

This function converts the octal number passed by user to its equivalent decimal number and returns it to main() function.

Example 2: Convert Decimal Number to Octal


              
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int decimalToOctal(int decimalNumber);

int main()
{
   int decimalNumber;
   cout << "Enter a decimal number: ";
   cin >> decimalNumber;
   cout << decimalNumber << " in decimal = " << decimalToOctal(decimalNumber) << " in octal";

   return 0;
}

// Function to convert decimal number to octal
int decimalToOctal(int decimalNumber)
{
    int rem, i = 1, octalNumber = 0;
    while (decimalNumber != 0)
    {
        rem = decimalNumber % 8;
        decimalNumber /= 8;
        octalNumber += rem * i;
        i *= 10;
    }
    return octalNumber;
}

Output


              
Enter an decimal number: 78
78 in decimal = 116 in octal

In the program, the decimal number is stored in the variable decimalNumber and passed to function decimalToOctal().

This function converts the decimal number passed by user to its equivalent octal number and returns it to main() function.
