2. Binary-coded decimal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal

   Decimal: 9 1. Binary : 1001 0001. Hence the numerical range for one unpacked BCD byte is zero through nine inclusive, whereas the range for one packed BCD byte is zero through ninety-nine inclusive. To represent numbers larger than the range of a single byte any number of contiguous bytes may be used.

3. BCD (character encoding) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCD_(character_encoding)

   BCD ( binary-coded decimal ), also called alphanumeric BCD, alphameric BCD, BCD Interchange Code, [1] or BCDIC, [1] is a family of representations of numerals, uppercase Latin letters, and some special and control characters as six-bit character codes . Unlike later encodings such as ASCII, BCD codes were not standardized.

4. Six-bit character code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-bit_character_code

   BCD six-bit code. Six-bit BCD code was the adaptation of the punched card code to binary code. IBM applied the terms binary-coded decimal and BCD to the variations of BCD alphamerics used in most early IBM computers, including the IBM 1620, IBM 1400 series, and non-decimal architecture members of the IBM 700/7000 series.

5. Binary code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_code

   A binary code represents text, computer processor instructions, or any other data using a two-symbol system. The two-symbol system used is often "0" and "1" from the binary number system. The binary code assigns a pattern of binary digits, also known as bits, to each character, instruction, etc. For example, a binary string of eight bits (which ...

6. Double dabble - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dabble

   Double dabble. In computer science, the double dabble algorithm is used to convert binary numbers into binary-coded decimal (BCD) notation. [1] [2] It is also known as the shift-and-add -3 algorithm, and can be implemented using a small number of gates in computer hardware, but at the expense of high latency. [3]

7. Densely packed decimal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Densely_packed_decimal

   Densely packed decimal (DPD) is an efficient method for binary encoding decimal digits.. The traditional system of binary encoding for decimal digits, known as binary-coded decimal (BCD), uses four bits to encode each digit, resulting in significant wastage of binary data bandwidth (since four bits can store 16 states and are being used to store only 10), even when using packed BCD.
