Number Converter Calculator in C++

This C++ program implements a versatile Number Converter Calculator that allows conversion between decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal number systems. It provides a console-based interface for users to select their desired conversion type and input numbers accordingly.

Features:

1. Supported Conversions:

   • Decimal: Convert decimal numbers to binary, octal, and hexadecimal.
   • Binary: Convert binary numbers to decimal, octal, and hexadecimal.
   • Octal: Convert octal numbers to decimal, binary, and hexadecimal.
   • Hexadecimal: Convert hexadecimal numbers to decimal, binary, and octal.

2. User Interface:

   • Color-coded Menus: Differentiates conversion categories using distinct colors for clarity (e.g., blue for binary, green for octal).
   • Interactive Input: Prompts users to enter their choice of conversion and the corresponding number to convert.
   • Loading Feedback: Provides visual and auditory loading feedback using the espeak command for a more engaging user experience.

3. Implementation Details:

   • Switch Statements: Utilizes nested switch statements to handle menu selections and specific conversion choices.
   • System Commands: Integrates system commands (system("cls")) to clear the console screen and maintain a clean interface.
   • Error Handling: Includes basic error handling for invalid user inputs to ensure the program runs smoothly.

Usage:

• Upon running the program, users are presented with a main menu where they can choose the type of number conversion they wish to perform.
• Each conversion type (decimal, binary, octal, hexadecimal) offers further sub-options based on the direction of conversion.
• Users enter the number they wish to convert and receive the converted result directly on the console.

Dependencies:

• The program uses the espeak command for auditory feedback, which may require installation depending on the operating system.
• Standard C++ libraries such as <iostream>, <sstream>, <cstring>, and <cmath> are used for basic operations and string manipulations.

Future Enhancements:

• Implement a graphical user interface (GUI) for improved user interaction and visual feedback.
• Add support for additional number systems or custom bases beyond the standard decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal.
• Enhance error handling and input validation to handle edge cases more effectively.

Notes:

This project serves as a practical implementation of number system conversions using C++, providing a foundational understanding of bitwise operations and numeric representations. It is suitable for educational purposes and can be expanded based on specific requirements or additional functionalities desired.
