For anyone who doesn’t want to do the conversion, that’s 17 days.
It also has a max of 31 days possible. Which has… implications.
🤔 … What implications? ಠ_ಠ
Or 11 in hexadecimal
B is 11 in hex though?
It bothers me it’s not in 4 bit “bytes” even though I know it’s just a convention for computers
A byte is eight bits.
Yes. I am dumb.
You can do all of math in binary, it isn’t just for computers. In fact, the proof for “Russian Peasant Multiplication” was written in binary.
So you can do all mathematical operations in binary, but you can’t represent all numbers in binary like 0.3, which is a repeating number, and had the same issues as a number like 1/3 in decimal where you can’t avoid rounding errors
It’s worth noting that 1/3 is also a repeating number in binary. 0.01010101…
While 0.3 is in binary 0.0100110011001100…
I’m not sure what sort of point you think you’re making but 0.0100110011 in binary is only 0.065% off from 0.3, but how often would you organically encounter 0.3?
Many fractions in decimal are also repeating numbers or very long trailing numbers, I especially encounter a lot when working with time which is base 60.
-1 days? (or 17, without the overflow)
Twos complement (invert the bits then add one), so its -15 days.
Otherwise 00000 and 10000 would paradoxically both equal 0 and make bitwise equality checks very difficult.
Good point!
I love the leak in the other room. Get ready to reset the counter folks!
It’s telling that their counter only goes up to a month
I totally got that without the text bubble.
