Do you have a question?

Why the lengthy switch rather than something like

result = "023456789ABCDEF".charAt(remainder) + result;

won't work for number with remainder zero...so insert case 0....

If you rplace the ludicrous switch with the single line
result = "023456789ABCDEF".charAt(remainder) + result;
then you won't have that problem anyway.

Theres one problem with this program, the DectoHexDec method header is "public static int DectoHexDec(int x)", but then proceeds to return a string, so that needs to be fixed.

@doomsday1216 and what would be suitable fix according to you? I'm interested to hear about it.

just change int to String (e.g. instead of public static int DectoHexDec(int x), just make it public static String DecToHexDec(int x) )

In theory, .charAt returns a char, and result is a string. this can be fixed by changing result to an array of chars, and then put a small for loop to put each character into a string. This may seem convoluted, but it's still faster than the massive case/switch block. The for loop would look something like this.

String done="";
		for(int j=0;j<result.length;j++)
		{
			done=result[j]+done;
		}
