About Programmer's Calculator

Convert numbers between binary (base 2), octal (base 8), decimal (base 10), and hexadecimal (base 16) systems instantly. Enter a value in any base and see all other representations update in real time. Also supports bitwise operations like AND, OR, XOR, and NOT for low-level programming tasks.

How to Use Programmer's Calculator

  1. 1

    Enter a number

    Type a number in any supported base — binary, octal, decimal, or hexadecimal.

  2. 2

    View conversions

    See the equivalent values in all four number bases update in real time.

  3. 3

    Perform bitwise operations

    Use the bitwise operation buttons to perform AND, OR, XOR, NOT, and shift operations.

Common Use Cases

  • Converting hex color codes to decimal values
  • Working with binary flags and bitmasks in code
  • Understanding network subnet masks in different bases
  • Debugging low-level protocol data and memory addresses

Frequently Asked Questions

What number bases are supported?
The calculator supports binary (base 2), octal (base 8), decimal (base 10), and hexadecimal (base 16) — the four systems most commonly used in programming.
What are bitwise operations?
Bitwise operations (AND, OR, XOR, NOT, shift) manipulate individual bits of binary numbers. They are used in low-level programming, permissions systems, network masks, and performance-optimized algorithms.
Can I enter negative numbers?
The tool works with unsigned integer values. For negative number representation, you can manually apply two's complement to the binary output.
