Basic & programmer questions, answered
The questions people actually search before reaching for a calculator.
What is the difference between binary, decimal, and hexadecimal?
Decimal (base 10) is the everyday system using digits 0–9. Binary (base 2) uses only 0 and 1 and is how computers store data. Hexadecimal (base 16) uses 0–9 and A–F.
How do you convert decimal to binary?
Repeatedly divide the decimal number by 2, recording the remainder each time, then read the remainders from bottom to top.
What is a matrix used for?
A matrix is a grid of numbers used to solve systems of linear equations, transform coordinates in graphics, and organize data in engineering and computer science.
What does the determinant of a matrix tell you?
The determinant is a single number calculated from a square matrix that indicates whether the matrix can be inverted, and represents a scaling factor for transformations.
What's the difference between a basic and scientific calculator?
A basic calculator handles simple arithmetic like addition and multiplication. A scientific calculator adds trigonometry, logarithms, exponents, and other advanced functions.
