AI Thread Summary
A recommended online tool for converting numbers between decimal and binary formats is highlighted, which supports 8, 16, and 32-bit integer conversions for both unsigned and signed numbers. Additionally, it offers conversion for single and double precision numbers according to the IEEE754 standard, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals alike. The tool is particularly useful compared to older versions of Windows' calculator, which only handles basic integer conversions without support for floating-point formats. The website for this tool is http://www.binaryconvert.com.

Here is a good tool for checking your solution when converting a number from decimal to binary or from binary to decimal.

It supports integer numbers (8, 16 and 32 bits) for both unsigned and signed numbers.

It also includes a converter for single precision and double precision numbers according to the IEEE754 standard. I wish I had this tool when I was in school as we had to use C code and read the memory location of the floating-point variable to check if our manual conversion was right or wrong.

This is the address: http://www.binaryconvert.com"

Enjoy!

hate to be a party pooper...but on Windows, calc.exe will do that
 
Well I don't know what version of Windows you have. I have WinXP and calc.exe only performs binary conversion for integer numbers (char, short, int)... NOT for single and double precision IEEE 754 numbers. That's why I think this website provides more features than the traditionnal Windows calc.
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
What percentage of programmers have learned to touch type? Have you? Do you think it's important, not just for programming, but for more-than-casual computer users generally? ChatGPT didn't have much on it ("Research indicates that less than 20% of people can touch type fluently, with many relying on the hunt-and-peck method for typing ."). 'Hunt-and-peck method' made me smile. It added, "For programmers, touch typing is a valuable skill that can enhance speed, accuracy, and focus. While...
I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
