  • Abstract
    An algorithm for the conversion of BCD numbers to numbers in the -2 radix system is presented. This algorithm consists of simple arithmetic operations such as division by two and addition of the constants one and five. These operations may easily be performed in a -2 radix computer by shifting a number right for division by two and a table look-up procedure for the additions. The reverse conversion is also briefly discussed
