No Wonder I Was Having So Much Trouble

Post by Bateluer »

Converting BCD to decimal, the stupid AF manual left out three 0s from the BCD number, the first two and the last zero were missing. How do that expect me to convert with missing digits. :dunno:

HUH? :huh:
Have you ever tried to step in my shoes?

Have you ever tried to balance on that beam?

And if you ever tried to step in my shoes

They'll never be quite as soft as they seem.

BCD = Binary Coded Decimal. Its a short hand method of writing binary numbers.



Zero thru Nine are represented by their binary number representations in 4 digit chunks.



Zero = 0000

One = 0001

Two = 0010

Three = 0011

Four = 0100

Five = 0101

Six = 0110

Seven = 0111

Eight = 1000

Nine = 1001



For example, to write the number 132(10) in BCD, you would write 0001 0011 0010(BCD). Unfortunately, the AF text wrote that number like this 100110010(BCD).

Why not? I gave you the BCD equivalents of all the numbers you can possibly use in a number.



Take the number 230, you would use the BCD codes from 2, 3, and 0 in sequence. BCD is one of the easiet number systems to use.

wow! I'm impressed- that is some ADVANCED mathematics!!



I guess anything seems simple enough once you've been shown how, but I can see why everyone is so confused by what you're telling them- just because something is easy to YOU, doesnt make it easy! Not everyone here has the same intelligence, and some of us take longer to grasp stuff like this!

thanks for the math lesson but im still clueless hahah
Imagine:



To stand on top of the highest cliff.

To feel the wind tearing at my clothes, the elements.

Looking down into oblivion and voidness.

The ground far, far away as it seems from here, but in reality only a couple of seconds away.

Standing there.

Feeling a decision in a prefabricated existence.



To draw the final breath,

To make that little step,

To know, that for once a decision was made,

To feel one foot above the abyss,

To think for a split second you can float in the air

To feel losing balance,

To fall,

To feel the cold wind violently caress you,

To see the ground coming closer,

Then to doubt

To wish yourself back to the top of the peak

the one that you are pacing away from.

Only to perish, knowing you cannot turn back

It's binary code.. it's not math. It's just the language the core of a computer works with.
