A simple Go library for converting between decimal and binary numbers.

Installation

go get github.com/michaelwp/binaryConverter

Usage

Import the package and use the BinaryConverter interface to convert between decimal and binary formats.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/michaelwp/binaryConverter"
)

func main() {
	converter := binaryConverter.NewBinaryConverter()

	// Convert decimal to binary
	binary := converter.ToBinary(42)
	fmt.Println("Binary of 42:", binary) // Output: "101010"

	// Convert binary to decimal
	decimal, err := converter.ToDecimal("101010")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error:", err)
	} else {
		fmt.Println("Decimal of 101010:", decimal) // Output: 42
	}
}

API Reference

ToBinary(decimal int64) string

Converts a decimal number to a binary string.

• Input: int64
• Output: string

Example:

converter.ToBinary(10) // Output: "1010"

ToDecimal(binary string) (int64, error)

Converts a binary string to a decimal number.

• Input: string (must be a valid binary representation)
• Output: int64, error

Example:

decimal, err := converter.ToDecimal("1010") // Output: 10, nil

Error Handling

If the input binary string is invalid, ToDecimal returns an error.

_, err := converter.ToDecimal("102")
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Invalid binary string:", err)
}
