1st Think of how you would do a hex to decimal conversion on paper. 2nd "" decimal to base 2 Then think of what were the common operations in translating one base to another.
Don't even think in code , yet. Write the process out in words. Fininsh this and come back. --- Tim Nicholson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jason, > > I understand what you are saying but *I* do not understand how to do these > problems.
