Straight Binary Code:

This is used to represent numbers using natural binary form. It is a weighted code since a weight is
assigned to every position.
Other BCD include the 4221 BCD and 5421 BCD codes:
TABLE 2
Decimal / 4221BCD conversion
Decimal Digit 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
4221 BCD 0000 0001 0010 0011 10000 0111 1100 1101 1110 1111

TABLE 2
Decimal / 5421BCD conversion
Decimal Digit 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
5421 BCD 0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100

Excess- 3 code:
This is another form of BCD code. A 8421BCD code formed by adding decimal 3 to decimal
number or (0011)2 to the binary equivalent of the decimal number
Octal code:
A code in which each group of three bits starting from LSB is represented by its equivalent octal
digit.
Hexadecimal code:
A method of representing binary numbers in which each group of 4 bits is represented by its hex
digit
