After many years of giving up on computing, I have recently grasped machine coding. Some of you may already be very proficient with this, however it is with my own pride that I pose the following question:

11001010b

What is the following address (location)?

( :D <- self-satisfaction)

CAlifornia ? (:D <-self-satisfaction too)

You must show you workings SG-N! :D

How in the hell did you get that?

hex it. Canada .ca

It is the compressed version of

1100100011000000110010b
Or
100001101000001b

It’s also the bus that I used to catch to school.

Can you explain to me how you "compress" it? :confused:

I went on to a binary translator and found this:

11001010=Ê

1100100011000000110010=ÈÀ2

100001101000001=†A

Although I don't know what that "b" means, so I just got rid of it when I inputed the text. Can you just explain it all to me? Please?

(binary) 11001010 = (hex) CA = (decimal) 202;
ASCII code for character string 202 = 00110010,00110000,00110010 strip the highest order 0 bits and you get 1100100011000000110010
ASCII code for character string CA is 100001101000001

The b just indicates that the preceding number is in binary.

I used to catch the 202 bus down the hill to high school for 5 years..

;)

"b" = binary
"0x" before a number show that it's a hexadecimal one.

11001010b = 0xCA

"CA" doesn't stand for California...
So is Voodoo Child right with Canada ?

Uh...well, that sorta' helped...sorta'...:(

"0x" before a number show that it's a hexadecimal one. No h indicated hex.


11000011b= binary
10h=hex
xd=decimal (the x is inserted to prevent someone from confusing it with the Hexadecimal 'number' (letter) D.

With no 'signing' (I think signing is actually more to do with negative and positive numbers) on the numbers, it is assumed to be a decimal number.

Were you looking for the hex character code Bill?? Was it the address location, in that case someone has written it, but I'm not sure if it's correct. I'll check it!

"0x" before a number is as right as "h" after it when dealing with hexadecimal numbers.

Yeah Sg-N. I couldn't remember the specifics, but I think you're correct.
