----------------------------------- yodu123 Thu Mar 19, 2009 12:16 am decimal to binary conversion ----------------------------------- i just start using Turing. i never used any programing language before and i kinda need some tips on how i can made a conversion from decimals to binary....and also how i can take a number from a textbox (GUI.createtextbox) to be converted into binary digit... appreciate ur help :) ----------------------------------- syntax_error Thu Mar 19, 2009 12:29 am RE:decimal to binary conversion ----------------------------------- If you can avoid using the turing GUI at all costs. Secondly as to your first problem, how would you convert a base 10 number into a base 2 using a pen and paper if you are unaware, and to save me time from typing read the following: http://math.about.com/od/calculuslessons/a/changebase.htm Google is your friend for further investigation. ----------------------------------- yodu123 Thu Mar 19, 2009 9:32 am RE:decimal to binary conversion ----------------------------------- i know how to do it on a paper but i have to make a program which converts in order to make a calculator ----------------------------------- Insectoid Thu Mar 19, 2009 10:06 am RE:decimal to binary conversion ----------------------------------- Use math in a for loop. Not that div does division with the decimal cut off, and mod does the remainder after division. ----------------------------------- DemonWasp Thu Mar 19, 2009 10:12 am RE:decimal to binary conversion ----------------------------------- If you know how to do it on paper, you should be able to convert that to a working program. If not, try and tell us what you're getting confused with. ----------------------------------- copthesaint Fri Mar 20, 2009 4:56 pm RE:decimal to binary conversion ----------------------------------- Binary is pretty simple for finding numbers exapmle 0011 0011 = 51 how do I know this? the following is a crappy version of a binary table 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 - 8bit ------------------------- 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 -binary number ok so really it's simple for every number thats one add the binary number on the table. 1+2+16+32 = 51 not hard right? now if you have a number bigger then 128, this would get more complicated but
