It's too bad the Arabs/Romans/Greek/whoever who set up the predominant base 10 system didn't plan ahead. Would have been much better if we'd gone for base 2, 8 or 16 instead.

Im just frustrated since I did all the work by hand... You could say I got myself to blame of course...

On the other hand I usually suffer from the typical geek handicap of spending two hours writing a script to solve a twenty minute problem...

It's going to be rough for us "oldtimers" when the next generation of geeks start taking charge. I'm hoping there will be a few years yet before I start falling behind

I don't see much hope in changing the numerical system... just look how long it has taken to get the metric system implemented - and in the US they still teach the imperial system until you get to the university level.

Here, grab mine. It's C and outputs in hex, but from hex to binary is good brain excercise

Thanks - but no need - Java is fast

public class Convert
{
public String setString(String textIn)
{
String temp = "";
for (int i = 0; i < textIn.length(); i++)
{ temp += this.convertToBinary(""+(int) textIn.charAt(i)); }

return temp;
}//end method

private String convertToBinary(String numberIn)
{
StringBuffer temp = new StringBuffer();
int decimal = 0;
try { decimal = Integer.parseInt(numberIn); } //end try
catch (NumberFormatException nFE)
{ System.out.println("Exception has occoured: "+nFE); nFE.printStackTrace(); }//end catch

while (decimal != 0)
{
temp.append(decimal % 2);
decimal = decimal/2;
}//end while
if (temp.length() < 8)
{
for (int i = temp.length(); i < 8; i++)
{ temp.append("0"); } //end for
}//end if
return temp.reverse().toString();
}//end method
}//end class

A bit fast-made and uneffecient code - but still - think it works

Well fast for progamming in - not for executing (well not graphic wise)

Good! That means you can babysit a lot!

You should do a search for "Counting With Aegis"...

I know... I spammed that one.
Remember?

Yeah, I asked T to close it for me... It was a bad example of spam in SYM. I figured it was for the best.

your just jealous.

Leet people can program their own leet program.
actually I should program a leet (text-book leet) java program - would be quite easy ............ naaa - sticking with binary - maybe making it octal for the good ole days

Sorry, we don't serve that here. Feel free to have a coffee, or beer though.

WHAT?

I'll have "death coffee" 18 spoonfuls of coffee, 12 of sugar.

Don't forget the galleon of cream on top of that
