dec to hex or bin

how do i convert between dec, hex, bin etc?

Due to not many people using the feature to convert between dec, hex, bin, etc, we decided to move that feature.
It was taking too much user-interface space since we had dedicated buttons for each.
But if you like we can instead include functions that convert them in future release.

yes please!. It's really the only thing that I use the windows calculator for.

I'd be super happy just for the values to put into the new function space myself that would perform this task.
While i only needs dec, hex and bin, im guessing a generic function like "toBase(value, base)" would be useful.

Is there a tutorial on how to write complicated custom functions? what language is it back there?

I'm quite surprised that you don't have more users using this feature. It's very useful for programmers.

Great, I will add that function to next release.

To answer your question, yes you can define custom functions.
It's easy to do.
You can find documentation about it here:

You can also define recursive functions. Examples are here:

Thanks so much!
You now have the best calculator.

You're welcome spirail. I take it you found out about the new hex/bin feature that I re-added to the calculator in the latest update

That's right!
The update only got pushed to me today.

So. How does one bout the characters ABCD in the input box when converting from Hex to Dec?
If i set the input to Hex and enter ABCD in the input box, the output says n/a

Sorry, it was a bug. I fixed it and released v8.7. It should be available in Windows appstore within a day.

Thanks so much for the fix!. Really appreciate it. Best calculator ever!

Oh, btw, there is no path from the application to this forum anymore. Your new website has no forum links.

yes, in addition to that I also removed links to forum from the App itself (used to be part of Help menu).
The reason I did this is that I'm going to retire this forum. It will still be usable but I won't be advertising it anymore.
Instead I added a "Contact us" button directly on the calculator app so you can click on it and send me your questions directly there. It's the green telephone icon on the toolbar.
I figured that would be easier for most people than to post in forum.
Forum would be useful for popular apps so that other users can help each other but I think this app is not popular enough yet to warrant a forum. Perhaps in future

Fair enough.

btw.. this hex stuff needs some work, or at the very least some disclaimers, such as: it doesn't actually support doing math in hex.
40000-3F800 = 800 ... not 11,800

I think you might want to rethink how this is implemented.

Thanks for finding this issue.
It was because 3F800 was internally interpreted as 3*F800.
I fixed it by disabling implicit multiplications for non-decimal expressions.

You should get an update within a day.
