Merf, he's trying to learn binary and hex simultaneously. Pick on and stick with it. He'll get it better.

Let's learn binary...once you get binary, you can get the rest from that. Each digit of a binary value represents a value in decimal. Since there are only ones and zeros, the binary number gets pretty big pretty quickly. The way to determine what the binary number is "worth", is to see what each digit represents and add all the "1"s together. Because, starting with the right-most digit, you double it's value. For example: 0000 = 0 0001 = 1 (the far-right digit is ALWAYS a 1!) 0010 = 2 (the second-from-the-right is ALWAYS WORTH 2, because I DOUBLED THE "1"!) 0011 = 3 (add BOTH VALUES TOGETHER [1+2] = 3!!!) 0100 = 4 (Double the value of the previous digit to get this value...2x2=4!!) 0101 = 5 (The "4" and the "1" digits are SET (1's) so we ADD THEM TOGETHER!) 0110 = 6 (The "4" and the "2" are now set (1's) so we ADD THEM TOGETHER!) This goes on forever and always, the cycle never ever ends or changes. So for my example I gave, 10111001... Starting from the FAR RIGHT...so backwards from what you have always done in the past, I add together all the values that are "1", but don't forget to still double the count every single digit, even if it's a ZERO. Sooo: 1+(skip 2 & 4, because they are "0")+8+16+32+(skip 64)+128 = THE DECIMAL VALUE OF THE BINARY NUMBER I love being geeky. |

With binary you'll get some huge numbers when you get up there, so the hex is basically a condensed version of binary. But binary is the basis for it.

Every space to the right of - let's call it - digit X is 2X... I swear, I'm doing this on my own, no MerF-cross-copying. Quote:
2=0010 3=0011 4=0100 5=0101 6=0110 7=0111 (not 1000) 8=1000 9=1001 10=1010 11=1011 12=1100 13=1101 14=1110 15=1111 16=10000 4= 0100 A=10=1010 7=0111 add them together: 010010100111 (IS THIS RIGHT?) 1+2+4+(8=0)+(16=0)+32+(64=0)+128+1024+(2064=0) which all together equals: 1191 Soooo 4A7 in Hex code, converts to 1191 in decimal...or 010010100111 in binary...YEAH!!! I THINK I GOT IT!!! Thanks guys! I know get the gist one more useless topic |

Now you can count on your hands and flip someone off while couning to four or five. Palm facing you with a closed fist.
all fingers down = 0 thumb out = 1 index up, thumb in = 2 index and thumb out = 3 middle finger up = 4 middle finger and thumb = 5. etc. |
