Ok got a question
when counting in binary why does my calculator say
10 = 00010000
shouldnt it be
10 = 00001010
1= 1 , 2=10 , 3=11 , 4=100 , 5=101 , 6=110 , 7=111 , 8 =1000 , 9=1001

actually your right, I don't know, but im guessing your using windows.
Debugging is what programmers do to beta software to make it take up more room on your hard drive if it is running too efficiently.

What calculator are you using?

I don't think it's about OS's. He probably did a HEXADECIMAL 10 to Binary conversion.
00010000 translates to 16 in Decimal. 16 in Decimal translates to 10 in hex
00001010 translates to 10 in decimal. 10 in decimal translates to 0A in hex
Pure madness! There must be a method! There is a method!

Binary is binary, it doesn't matter what the OS is. The only difference you might find is that one processor might use big endian and another might use little endian (i doubt any you know what that means: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/big-endian). The problem is most likely due to a crappy calculator.

I missed this post. I agree that this is another likely cause.
