How base conversion works
The tool converts numbers between binary/octal/decimal/hex locally with parseInt/toString, parsing to a decimal integer first and then to the target base. Local, no network.
- Hex is common for colors and memory addresses; binary shows bit operations, octal appears in Unix permissions.
- Very large values can exceed the JS safe integer range (2^53) and lose precision, so watch the digit count.
FAQ
1. Are negative numbers and decimals supported?
It targets base conversion of non-negative integers; decimals and negatives are more complex across bases, so handle them separately.
2. Why is a very large number converted incorrectly?
JS numeric precision tops out at 2^53; integers beyond that lose precision, so use a dedicated big-integer library for very large numbers.
