Number Bases

Convert number bases

Codelime's number base tool is a handy utility for converting numbers between different bases. In simple terms, this is what it does:

  • Binary: This is the base-2 number system which uses only two digits, 0 and 1. It's the language of computers at the most basic level.

  • Decimal: The standard base-10 number system that we use in everyday life, using digits from 0 to 9.

  • Hexadecimal: A base-16 system which is often used in computing. It extends beyond digits to include the letters A to F, representing values 10 to 15.

  • Octal: The base-8 system, using digits from 0 to 7. It used to be common in computing but is less so today.

Codelime's tool allows users to input a number in any of these bases and instantly convert it to the others. This is particularly useful for programmers and engineers who often need to switch between these different systems when working with various aspects of computer science and electronics.
