Program to Convert Hexadecimal Number to Binary

Given a Hexadecimal number as an input, the task is to convert that number to Binary number.

Examples:

Input: Hexadecimal = 1AC5
Output: Binary = 0001101011000101
Explanation:
    Equivalent binary value of 1: 0001
    Equivalent binary value of A: 1010
    Equivalent binary value of C: 1100
    Equivalent binary value of 5: 0101

Input: Hexadecimal = 5D1F
Output: Binary = 0101110100011111

Recommended: Please try your approach on {IDE} first, before moving on to the solution.

Approach: A hexadecimal number is a positional numeral system with a radix, or base, of 16 and uses sixteen distinct symbols.

A binary number is a number expressed in the base-2 binary numeral system, which uses only two symbols: which are 0 (zero) and 1 (one).

To convert HexaDecimal number to Binary, the binary equivalent of each digit of the HexaDecimal number is evaluated and combined at the end to get the equivalent binary number.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to convert 
// Hexadecimal number to Binary 
  
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// function to convert 
// Hexadecimal to Binary Number

{ 
    long int i = 0; 
  
    while (hexdec[i]) { 
  
        switch (hexdec[i]) { 
        case '0': 
            cout << "0000"; 
            break; 
        case '1': 
            cout << "0001"; 
            break; 
        case '2': 
            cout << "0010"; 
            break; 
        case '3': 
            cout << "0011"; 
            break; 
        case '4': 
            cout << "0100";
