How to separate first 8 digits in binary format and convert them to the hex?
Show older comments
I need a code to ask me to enter a number in binary format, and then separate them byte by byte (each 8 digits) then displace low and high value bytes and convert them to the hex.
for example if the input is 1000000011000000 then the output would be c080

Try this:
binaryString = '1000000011000000'
decimalNumber = bin2dec(binaryString)
hexString = dec2hex(decimalNumber)
Adapt as necessary. To get substrings
ss = s(1:8) % Get first 8 digits.
To reverse digits:
sr = s(end: -1 : 1)
bin2dec and dec2hex have a certain overhead, which can be avoided:
str = '1000000011000000';
bin = reshape(str - '0', 8, [])';
d = bin * pow2(:-1:0)';
d = d([2,1]); % Swap bytes
h = sprintf('%x', d);
