Entering and
displaying
binary integers
You can enter and display integers in one of four fonns:
® decimal (base 10)
* hexadecimal (base 16)
® octal (base 8) or
® binary (base 2).
You use the pound symbol (#) together with a suffix to indicate the base of
a number. The suffixes are:
d (decimal)
h (hexadecimal)
о (octal) and
b (binary).
For example, # 182d, # B6h, # 266o, and # 10110110b are all ways of
representing 182. In this guide, luunbers represented in this way are called
binary integers regardless of their base.
The current base setting detennines which base is used to display
integers.
On the HP 49G, binary integers can take from 1 to 64 bits, depending on
the current wordsize.
To set the base
To set the base, select the appropriate command from the command
catalog (®):
® DEC (to set the base to decimal)
® HEX (to set the base to hexadecimal)
® OCT (to set the base to octal)
® BIN (to set the base to binary).
