What is the binery star?

A binary star system consists of two stars that are gravitationally bound and orbit around a common center of mass. These systems can vary in their characteristics, including the distance between the stars, their sizes, and luminosities. Binary stars are crucial for astrophysics, as they allow scientists to determine stellar masses and study stellar evolution through their interactions and orbital dynamics. There are different types of binary stars, including visual binaries, spectroscopic binaries, and eclipsing binaries, each offering unique insights into their properties.

Write a program in c to convert binery number to hexa decimal number?

The question is somewhat ambiguous. If you have a value stored in a c variable, you can output it as a hexadecimal value by using a %x specification (printf("%x",z); prints z as a hex value. There is no specification (in most versions of c to input a binary number). If you mean convert a string which looks like a binary number to a string which looks like a hexadecimal number, then here is a code fragment char b[21]; // b holds binary string - 1 extra byte for null char h[6]; // h holds hex string - 1 extra byte for null char *p; int s; p=b; s=0; while (*p) { s = (s << 1) + (*p-'0'); p++; } sprintf(h,"%x",s);
