Convert degrees to decimal equivalent

can someone help me convert 74degrees,13 minutes ,13 secs and 7degrees,14 mins,55secs to decimal degrees and radians and then convert back to degree minutes.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Angles
     public static void main (String[] args)
          Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
          // takes the first angles from the user
          System.out.print("Enter the Degrees of the first angle < 360: ");
          int Angle1 = scan.nextInt();
     i dont know how to continue

Error in running a function to convert coordinates in degrees to decimal for EXCEL VBA

For your information, I have 3 cross-posts regarding this question - and all I can said there is still no firm solution regarding this error.
1) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27634586/error-in-running-a-function-to-convert-coordinates-in-degrees-to-decimal-for-exc/27637367#27637367

and the story of the error is as below:
Currently I am working on VBA excel to create a widget to verify coordinates whether it lies under the radius of ANOTHER predefined and pre-specified sets of coordinates.
In the module, I want to convert the coordinates from degrees to decimal before doing the calculation - as the formula of the calculation only allow the decimal form of coordinates.
However, each and every time I want to run the macros this error (Run-time error '5', invalid procedure call or argument) will appear. Then, the debug button will bring me to below line of coding:
degrees = Val(Left(Degree_Deg, InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "°") - 1))
For your information, the full function is as below:
Function Convert_Decimal(Degree_Deg As String) As Double

Thank you.
Your kind assistance and attention in this matter are highly appreciated.

You didn't give an example of your input string but try the following
Sub test()
Dim s As String
s = "180° 30' 30.5""""" ' double quote for seconds
Debug.Print Deg2Dec(s) ' 180.508472222222
End Sub
Function Deg2Dec(sAngle As String) As Double
Dim mid1 As Long
Dim mid2 As Long
Dim degrees As Long
Dim minutes As Long
Dim seconds As Double ' or Long if only integer seconds
sAngle = Replace(sAngle, " ", "")
mid1 = InStr(sAngle, "°")
mid2 = InStr(sAngle, "'")
degrees = CLng(Left$(sAngle, mid1 - 1))
minutes = CLng(Mid$(sAngle, mid1 + 1, mid2 - mid1 - 1))
seconds = Val(Mid$(sAngle, mid2 + 1, 10)) ' change 10 to 2 if only integer seconds
Deg2Dec = degrees + minutes / 60 + seconds / 3600
End Function
As written the function assumes values for each of deg/min/sec are included with unit indicators as given. Adapt for your needs.
In passing, for any work with trig functions you will probably need to convert the degrees to radians.

Required code to convert binary to decimal

i need the programming logic to convert a binary number into its decimal equivalent. the program should also detect a non binary number.

Converting character to decimal format

hi
i am working on a development where the selection screen has date and time as select options.
and based on the input i have to concatenate date and time into the format- DD.MM.YYY HH.MM.SS
there is a value in the table that has a field containing the above value and i have to fetch the data based on this input.
Now the problem is the field in the table is of format DECIMAL of 16 length.
i want to know how can i pass this value to the select statement.
thanks in advance

How to convert string to decimal in data association function?

In a BPM Script component, how in the Data Association can I use an expression to convert an argument from String to Decimal? I have a Process argument named percentage which is a string. I need to set the value of a data object called signed to either "Y" or "N" based on the percentage being greater than 0.4. Something like this:
(percentage > 0.4) ? "Y" : "N"
The problem here is that percentage is a string, so must be converted to a decimal value before the compare will work. I cannot find a function that allows that. I need something like parseDecimal(percentage), but the Expression Builder does not offer that for a string using a Simple Expression.
If it cannot be converted, is there another way to do this?

Guessing you figured this out on your own, but if you wanted to use a Script activity one way to do what you want is when you're creating your data associations drag the "Expression" icon in the middle and double click the icon in the middle you just added:
Get out of the Simple expression mode and into the XPath expression mode by clicking the dropdown in the upper left corner -> click "XPath Exp".
In the Functions dropdown on the right, click "Conversion Functions" -> click "number" and then insert it into the expression.
In the Variables list, select your string variable and insert it into the number function so that it looks something like this: number(bpmn:getDataObject('myStringVariable'))
Click OK
Click your expression icon in the middle and drag it over your decimal variable.
To have it evaluate and return a Boolean expression in your Script activity, add a Boolean process variable and add an XPath expression as described above except have the logic be this: number(bpmn:getDataObject('myStringVariable')) > .4 (the "greater than" shown above is added to the expression by clicking "Logical Functions" from the functions dropdown). Click OK and drag your expression icon over your Boolean variable.

Convert Mainframe Packed Decimal to Oralce Number Format

Dear all,
I am having a file in which amount fields are given in a Packed Decimal format. Can anyone suggest me how I can read this data element from the file and convert it into Oracle Number datatype.
File is a fixed length. All the amount fields are given in Packed Decimal Format and rest of the fields are given in text format.
Thanks and regards

Hi,
Firstly thanks for your reply.
Actually I am not using SQL Loader to load data from
a flat file to Oracle table. I am writing a custom
program that reads the file and populates the oracle
table. I'll put aside the question of 'why' you'd want to do that. SQL*Loader's singular purpose in life is to load flat files of data into Oracle DB. Sometimes there is a reason for reinventing the wheel.
How does your program communicate with the Oracle DB? If utilizing ESQL and Pro*Cobol (or Pro*<whatever> ) you will have read the data into a variable of some type in you host language. The variable of the host variable to hold the value (if you did a 'select from' that table) would be the correct target type for an insert statement. Whatever host language type conversion is available bewteen those two types ( if they are different at all ) is all that is needed. The precompilers have converters between certain native host and internal Oracle types built-in. It is how you get any data between the two systems. This is only a problem if the host language has no converter between the numeric types (if differnet.). When you read from the flat file are you reading it into a native packed decimal in the host language?
ODBC/JDBC similar strategy..... cast conversion between the native type that Oracle wants and the one into which your custom program reads it into.
So I want to know whether there are any Oracle
utility programs that will convert the packed decimal
to a oracle number format or not.There are Oracle routines that convert into the native Oracle DB formats. There are implicitly available through the normally utilized interfaces to OCI ( ESQL and ODBC/JDBC ) . There are none decoupled from those interfaces though (that I know of).
There are no standalone programs that mutate a flat file into another flat file that then could be loaded. That's is typically slower and utilzes more space than most customers want than just directly inputing the data into Oracle DB.

Convert hex to Decimal and keep leading zeros..

Hi,
I hope you can help?
How to convert hex to Decimal and keep leading zeros
I read 002C, hex, and I want to convert it to 0044 decimal.
sscanf (MyNum, "%4x", &DecNum); will only give me 44.
It have been working up till I started to get leading zeros.
We will always have a 4 digit hex input in a range
We must have the leading 00 in this case.
How is this best done?
Thanks for the help
Simon
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I don't really understand your problem. Is this stuff what you need ?
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
const char MyNum[] = "002C";
int DecNum;
sscanf (MyNum, "%4x", &DecNum);
printf ("%04d", DecNum);
getchar ();
return 0;
"0044" appears on standard output when printf function executes...

Converting Binary to Decimal

Hi Vinny,
Thanks for the posting Vinny (and Stu). I did figure it out. The
problem I initially had was that I had a 2-D array going into a for
loop. I can break the array into 1-D arrays and then change this into
an array into a string. No problems.
Thanks!

Long / double value convertion to Packed Decimal

Hi,
Could anybody tell me how to convert a long / double value to Packed Decimal (AS400) ?
Thanks,
Probir

Now I'm writing this value in a flat file by
FileOutputStream and sending to mainframe through FTP.
But the mainframe people said it's not converted into
packed decimal. Is it the right way to convert ??When you say "mainframe" I assume you are referring to a machine that uses EBCDIC. Java, even on the iSeries, uses Unicode and not EBCDIC, so when you FTP anything to the mainframe it will go through an ASCII-to-EBCDIC conversion. You want this to happen for text but you don't want it to happen for packed decimals; your carefully-constructed x'12' x'3f' bytes will be dutifully converted into EBCDIC garbage.
FTP of an iSeries file (in the QSYS.LIB file system) to a mainframe is trivial because both client and server use EBCDIC, so there are no conversion issues. So if you could do it that way, you definitely should. Otherwise you are going to have to take your packed decimal data and replace it by the bytes that would be translated into it if it were in EBCDIC. The translation table QEBCDIC in library QSYS shows you how it does that, so use that table. You can look it with the command WRKTBL QSYS/QEBCDIC. You'll notice for example that x'09' in ASCII gets converted to x'05' in EBCDIC. So if you want to get x'05' into part of a packed decimal field on the mainframe, you have to send it x'09'. And so on. Like I said, I would recommend doing something other than this. Ask the mainframe people to not make you used packed decimal, for example.

yes it's about coordinate
it's the entrance I reade some cordinate with latitude et and longitude , but I would like distance a the end in meter

Checking and Converting binary, octal, decimal, and hex

Hi,
I have a classroom project which will need to validate that data entered in a text is of a certain type with a keyListener, and then convert that value to the other 3 types.
I know character.isDigit will handle the decimal case, and that I can then use Integer.otString methods to convert to binary, octal, and hex, but what about the other cases?
Thanks

OK, this isn't working. If I've already established
that the string entered into, for example, the
integer-only textfield is a valid integer, I should be
able to simply use integer.parseint(s, 2) to convert
it into binary, right?Not exactly. You should be able to use Integer.parseInt(s, 2) to return the result of converting it from binary representation. You appear to think that this affects whatever "s" refers to, which is not the case. Note also, that method returns an int which is the decimal value in question.
When you are thinking of int variables, be careful not to think of them as "decimal" or "binary". They are neither. They are just numbers. "Decimal" and "binary" are text representations of numbers, so those concepts can only be applied to strings.
Integer.parseInt(s, 2);
txtBin.setText(s);So here you want to assume that the input is a string that represents a number in decimal, and you want to find the string that represents the number in binary. Like this:// convert string in decimal representation to number
int dec = Integer.parseInt(s);
// convert int to binary representation as string:
String binary = Integer.toBinaryString(dec);
// write that to the text field
txtBin.setText(binary);You could use a one-liner to do that, but you'll need the "dec" variable to set the other text boxes.
Rembering why I hate OO...All of what I said there is true in just about all computer languages, OO or otherwise.

HOW TO CONVERT DEGREES MINUTES SECONDS TO DECIMAL DEGREES IN HP 50G

Equation: How to write and equation that includes SIN of 10 degrees 25 minutes 15 seconds to Decimal Degrees (10.4208 degrees. OR convert 10.4208 degrees back to 10 degrees 25 minutes 15 seconds.

Hi,
When using the Equation Writer, you can also find commands in the CAT menu ( red rightshift SYMB ) or you can manually type them in using alpha letters too.
However, for the numeric equation solver, you can trick RPN mode into accepting HMS-> and ->HMS as follows:
create a program:
<< `B=->HMS(ACOS(SIN(HMS->(A))))` >> (note: you will have to enter the brackets manually)
Note: ` is a slanted apostrophe, obtained by press and hold Red RightShift ( ) and ' ( ).
Save this program as e.g. 'EQ1'
Open the numeric solver and for "Eq:" select CHOOS then select EQ1. It should show the program equation and variables A and B. You can enter data and solve for variables as normal.
Best regards.
EDIT: you can actually write this program directly in the editor of the Solver without first creating EQ1.
Note: I do not work for HP, I just like playing with calculators :-)

Converting binary digits to its decimal equivalent.

Is there any methods to do such convertion ??
Have been doing the hard way. :(

hi,
look at the
public static int parseInt(String s,
int radix)
throws NumberFormatException
method in the Integer class, there are examples in the api, here is what is shows:
parseInt("0", 10) returns 0
parseInt("473", 10) returns 473
parseInt("-0", 10) returns 0
parseInt("-FF", 16) returns -255
parseInt("1100110", 2) returns 102
parseInt("2147483647", 10) returns 2147483647
parseInt("-2147483648", 10) returns -2147483648
parseInt("2147483648", 10) throws a NumberFormatException
parseInt("99", 8) throws a NumberFormatException
parseInt("Kona", 10) throws a NumberFormatException
parseInt("Kona", 27) returns 411787
there is one showing 1100110, 2 returns 102, binary to integer.
