Number Systems
Description
This applet allows you to interactively construct binary, octal and hexadecimal values.
It also displays the decimal equivalent as numbers are formed.
- Binary: Displays a form for creating binary numbers. The light blue coloured squares are clickable fields. For each bit position
select either 0 or 1 from the list using left mouse clicks
- Octal: Displays a form for creating octal numbers. The light blue coloured squares are clickable fields. For each digit position
select numbers 0-7 shown above that position, using left mouse clicks.
- Octal: Displays a form for creating hexadecimal numbers. The light blue coloured squares are clickable fields. For each digit position
select numbers 0-9,A-F shown above that position, using left mouse clicks.
- Random Number: Generates and displays a random number. You can use this number as the target decimal number, and try to match its value.
