Frequently Asked Questions
What is hexadecimal used for?
Colors (#FF5733), memory addresses, and byte values — base-16 packs 4 bits per digit, so it's compact and readable.
How do I convert binary to decimal by hand?
Sum the place values of each 1 bit: 1011 = 8+0+2+1 = 11.
Why do programmers use octal?
Mostly Unix file permissions (chmod 755) — each octal digit maps to 3 permission bits.
What bases are supported?
2 through 36 (digits 0–9 plus letters A–Z).
Is it free?
Yes — free forever, no signup.
