Specifying a Number Base
2-7 Specifying a Number Base
While using the Main application, you can specify a default number base (binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal) or you can specify a number base for a particular integer value. You can also convert between number bases and perform bitwise operations using logical operators (not, and, or, xor). Note that while a default number base is specified, you can input integers only.
Number Base PrecautionsNote the following limitations, which all apply while a default number base (binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal) is specified in the Main application.
•You cannot use scientific functions, or [Action] or [Interactive] menu commands.
•Except for Ans (Answer Memory variable), you cannot use variables.
•You can input integers only. An error (Invalid syntax ERROR) will occur if you try to input a
•If a calculation produces a
•A error message is displayed if you try to enter a value that is invalid for the speicfied number base. The following shows the numerals that can be used in each number system.
Binary: 0, 1
Octal: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Decimal: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Hexadecimal: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F
Binary, Octal, Decimal, and Hexadecimal Calculation Ranges• The following are the display capacities for each of the number bases.
Number Base | Display Capacity |

|
Binary | 32 digits |

|
Octal | 11 digits |
|

Decimal | 10 digits |

•Negative binary, octal, and hexadecimal values are produced using the two's complement of the original value.
