What you should know: In the lesson on binary numbers we explained that the rightmost bit of a even number in binary is always 0, while in an odd number it equals 1. Moreover, we said that divisions by two can be performed removing the rightmost bit and shifting all the others to the right […]

What you should know: Input any binary value. The result is: More resources:

What you should know: Input any decimal value. The result is: More resources:

What you should know: In the previous lessons, we’ve shown that the conversion between binary and decimal can be time consuming specifically when dealing with large numbers. Moreover, the binary representation uses about 3.3 bits for every decimal digit. This means that binary representations are usually too long to be read comfortably. Hexadecimal and octal […]

What you should know: In the previous lesson we showed that hexadecimal format is used whenever there is the need to represent a binary number. This is because the conversion between the two formats is very easy and, with the right training, can be performed on the fly without the need to use a calculator […]
