Oh noes! I typed 10000 = 2^4 instead of 10000 ≡ 2^4! I’m gonna somehow remember that for a long time now.
@brod Oh nice! I’ve never checked my way of converting (thought of it once and just kept using it) so I never knew how others convert. -
brod100267y@Japorized I didn't even know ≡ was a thing 🙃
An engineering prof showed me how that method and I never really questioned it but for bigger numbers I fall back to a javascript repl
> parseInt("10101", 2)
> 21 -
@brod ≡ means equivalent but I’m probably abusing that notation 😂
I think it’s only relatively easy to count to some power < 10 unless if you’re really good with 2 digit multiplications. Like 2^5 * 2^5 = 32 * 32 = 1024 is probably hard to come by heart unless if you’re really used to it, or had mental arithmetic lessons 😂 -
@wildebeest Damn! xD That’s a good one. I never thought of it that way and have always been able to successfully tell the difference in my head based on context.
