Decimal to Binary
What this does
Converts a base-10 number to base 2. 10 becomes 1010; 255 becomes 11111111. Large numbers and negative values (two's complement not applied — sign shown as a minus) are supported.
When to use it
- Subnet masks and IP maths (255 = 8 ones).
- Bit flags and permission values.
- Learning how place values work in base 2.
Good to know
Each binary digit doubles: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128. Eight digits cover 0–255.
