Abstract
A method of converting a number to a binary representation based on a processor word size is described. In accordance with the method, a predetermined size segment of a number is converted to a binary representation wherein the predetermined size segment is based on the processor word size. Also described is a method of converting a number represented in binary form and comprised of more than one segment, wherein the segment size is determined based on processor word size, to a decimal representation. A first decimal segment resulting from converting a segment of the more than one binary segments to decimal form is combined with a second decimal segment resulting from converting another segment of the more than one binary segments to decimal form.
