- I just started a digital logic class and we are doing number systems and
- conversion. The hp48 works great when you have whole numbers but if you
- add a decimal IT CAN'T HANDLE IT!! WHY? I can do it on a sheet of paper
- why can't the HP do it? If the ROM can't handle it, is there some software
- out there that can do it? I was stunned that the HP couldn't do it....
-
- It is simple math to do the conversions....
-
- Example:
- --------
- To see what I mean try to convert 757.25 (base 10) to octal and binary.
