What is a Programmer Calculator?

A Programmer Calculator is a specialized calculator designed for software developers, computer scientists, and other professionals working with different number systems. It allows for easy conversion and calculation in hexadecimal (HEX), decimal (DEC), octal (OCT), and binary (BIN) number systems.

Advantages

  • Easily convert values between different number systems (bases).
  • Perform arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) directly in any base.
  • Useful for low-level programming, debugging, and understanding data representation.
  • Helps understand binary operations like bitwise shifts (<<, >>).
  • Essential for working with memory addresses, color codes, and bitmasks.

How to Use

  1. Select the active number system (HEX, DEC, OCT, BIN) using the toggle buttons.
  2. Input numbers using the calculator buttons (disabled buttons are invalid for the current mode). You can also use your keyboard.
  3. Use arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /) or bitwise shifts (<<, >>) as needed.
  4. Press '=' or Enter to complete the calculation.
  5. Use 'CE' or Escape to clear the current calculation.
  6. The current value is automatically converted and shown below each mode toggle button.
