Frequently Asked Questions

What are number bases?

Number bases (or radixes) are systems for representing numbers. Common bases: binary (base 2), octal (base 8), decimal (base 10), and hexadecimal (base 16).

Why do programmers use hexadecimal?

Hexadecimal is compact and maps neatly to binary — each hex digit represents exactly 4 binary bits. It's widely used for colors, memory addresses, and byte values.

What's binary used for?

Binary (base 2) is the fundamental language of computers. Understanding binary helps with bitwise operations, networking (IP addresses), and low-level programming.
