i was reading 28 days and it showed how to convert hexidecimal and binary to decimal and i was wondering what exactly is the process for the following:

1)Decimal to hex?

and

2)Decimal to binary?

This is an easier process than it looks. You basically look for the highest power of the base that is lower than the decimal number. Consider the decimal number 289₁₀. If you want to convert this to hexadecimal, look for the highest power of the base that is lower than 289₁₀. This is the 2^nd power, 16², or 256. Since it's the second, it will be the third digit (sort of how C++ handles arrays. First digit is to the 0 power, etc.). So you have 100 ₁₆, and 289-256 leaves you with 33₁₀. Now 16¹ goes into 33 two times, so that gives you 120₁₆, and 33-32 is 1₁₀. 16⁰ goes into 1 once, so that leaves you with the final number: 289₁₀ = 121₁₆. You can do a simliar process to convert from base 10 to any other base.

Excellent explanation.

thanks for that.

Got it now? Anything more need to be qualified or clarified?

im all set for now.
