0100 actually AFAIK it goes 1248 1000,0100,1100,0010 etc

But reads from right to left!!

But reads from right to left!!

yes quite right, I remember now so thats:

0001

0010

0011

0100

0101

0110

0111

1000

1001

1010

1011

1100

1101

1110

1111

so limited to 15 but (I think) 10 - 15 are represented (hexadecimal) as ABCDEF

Long time since I did any hex programming!

 

[NozSpark]

Binary and Hex are completley different numerical systems

Binary consists of 1's and 0's, usually in 8 bit blocks which are called bytes

Hex is as 16 base unit of measurement

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F

Yes different but HEX is used for making binary commands easier and quicker to process. Basically all the hex commands are broken down into their 1 and 0 components. I seem to remember hex commands like 3D8AFF which then are broken down by the HEX loader program into the binary. its a lot quicker typing in hex than binary.

check this out for a better explanation

 

[NozSpark]

I've not done any programming myself, but you're right HEX is used

 

[revjames]

Just basic stuff I learned at tech many moons ago. did some hex programming but since then the only bit of programming I've done is a bit of ladder logic on PLC's

Not sure whats used in programming these days C++ or something like that?

Sounds like a heck of a bra size that!

*sigh*

10 is 2 in binary.............

:^O

I liked it KME

:C

 

[kme]

Thanks `pache.

It tickled my funny bone, too....

 

[revjames]

I liked it too except I had heard it at least 1110 times :coat

I have a t shirt with that joke on it. Also had it as the sig on my email about 1010 years back.

So, you can say: been there, done that and got the Tee Shirt, then?
