Do you know?
There are 10 types of people in the world:
Those who understand binary, and those who don't. :bellyroll: :headbang: |
Hex is the shorthand for binary.

Yes... there at 10 types of people in the world that understand binary, but i won't ruin the surprise Merf
Seeing how your a computer guy then Merf, have you ever ran across any ID-10-T Errors. If not you surely have had a Picnic Error before, right. I know I have. :) |
Yeah, the ID-10-T error is usually fixed by cycling the O-N-O-F-F switch (that sounds better saying it, typing it takes it away).
Mindz, I gotta admit that I don't get your post. I'm sure I'm missing something. |
hexadecimal = base 16
digits go 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 10 11 ... That's why instead of having a really long color code 255 red 0 blue 0 green would be #FF0000 (if you know html, colors are all in quotes or in that 6 digit category). so Binary (base 2) = Hex (base 16) 10000 = 10 01111 = F or 15 |
Oh I know how hex works, I have to teach kids how to decode it for troubleshooting one of my archaic electronic cabinets.
By the way there's no 10 or 11 in hex.... 0=0 1=1 ... ... 9=9 A=10 B=11 C=12 D=13 E=14 F=15 more accurately, the numbers you posted are 10000 (base 2)= 16 (decimal) 10000 (base 16)= 00010000000000000000 (base 2)= 65536 (decimal) 01111 (base 2)= 15 (decimal) 01111 (base 16)= 00001111111111111111 (base 2)= 65535 (decimal) The highest binary number for a hexadecimal conversion is 1111, which translates to 15 (F)...so to get a true color code as you gave an example for, the binary number would be #0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000 SO your example "#FF0000" would actually read: 111111110000000000000000 which is good for any video setting using 24-bit color. For the newer stuff, most everyone is using 32-bit color, which is actually 8-hexadecimal numbers in the code: 00000000 = true black. FFFFFFFF = true white. All this computer hacking is making me thirsty. :drinking: |
Mindz...
did you understand Merf's Original post. It was a joke :) Quote:

wow there is the time it took to read a post i'll never get back! Back to cars.. or atleast car programs ;)

I'm a geek, I can't help it.

.............
All of that went wayyyy over my head, but I'm still impressed nontheless! Amazing, isn't it?! lol |

"10 types of people" but only two are listed, right? Binary works like this. Only ones and zeros in binary, so as it counts up, the MSD (most significant digit) moves to the left. For example. 0000 = 0 0001 = 1 0010 = 2 0011 = 3 0100 = 4 0101 = 5 0110 = 6 0111 = 7 1000 = 8 etc... So "10" types of people in binary is really "2" types of people in decimal. :w00t: :respekt: |

Too bad no superscript to put the base-value in the numbers to make more sense of it. :tweetz: |
