Hi there, I hope you will be doing great.
I am trying to study and understand a code that is in C language and want to implement it in MATLAB environment. However, the problem is I am not familiar with C language.
The issue currently I am facing is in the debugging. I don't know whether the following section is storing data in binary format or in decimal format in variables?
I am using VS code on windows 10
It depends what you mean by "decimal format".
C only knows about binary at the machine level.
The whole decimal/binary thing is purely down to presentation, such as when you try and print a variable in the debugger, or using printf.
Code:int x = 128; int y = 0x80; if ( x == y ) { // it's true! } printf("%d %d\n", x, y); // print both in decimal printf("%x %x\n", x, y); // print both in hex
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Ok so it means the above elements are stored in decimal format in the variable?
When I try to debug the code using vscode I can only see their decimal values...
"C only knows about binary at the machine level" means: There is no "decimal format"!Originally Posted by C_shot1
Decimal is just how the debugger chooses to show you the numbers.
There are options in the debugger to allow you to show values in hexadecimal.

Thank you is it possible in the Visual studio code?
Sure
