                     2.4 ENCODER
                 The computer works on binary numbers. We need to convert numbers from any base to their binary form so that
                 computer can process them. An encoder is the device that performs this conversion operation.

                            An Encoder is a combinational circuit that convert decimal, octal or hexa decimal numbers to
                            its equivalent binary from.


                 An encoder has a maximum of 2 n  input lines and n output lines.

                 Encoders can be of three types:
                 1.  Octal to Binary Encoder
                 2.  Decimal to Binary  Encoder
                 3.  Hexadecimal to Binary Encoder


                 2.4.1 Octal to Binary Encoder
                 We recall, the base of an octal number is 8 and the digits are from 0 to 7. Octal numbers can be represented by 3 bits.
                 Thus an Octal to binary encoder has 8 input lines and 3 output lines.

                 The block diagram of an Octal to Binary encoder can be represented as follows:


                                              0
                                              1                                            B 2
                                              2
