package com.thealgorithms.bitmanipulation; /** * This class provides methods to convert between XS-3 (Excess-3) and binary. * * Excess-3, also called XS-3, is a binary-coded decimal (BCD) code in which each decimal digit is represented by its corresponding 4-bit binary value plus 3. * * For more information, refer to the * Excess-3 Wikipedia page. * * Example usage: *
 * int binary = Xs3Conversion.xs3ToBinary(0x4567);
 * System.out.println("XS-3 0x4567 to binary: " + binary); // Output: 1234

 * int xs3 = Xs3Conversion.binaryToXs3(1234);
 * System.out.println("Binary 1234 to XS-3: " + Integer.toHexString(xs3)); // Output: 0x4567
