HELLOOOO!!!!! Never even bothered to look at the good old calculator that comes with Windows? It does these conversions and doesn’t even need an Internet connection. LOL Must enable the scientific view to get this functionality.
Forgot to say that the Windows calculartor allows you to make calculations (DUH!!!) in binary, octal and hex as well.
Luis, I am aware the Windows calculator does this. The online tool allows you to work any base up to 32 which the calculator does not.
Well the article didn’t mention base 32 and the ones it did mention are the same the Windows calculator handles.
