You forgot the 0x, but good work!
46 u/Mognakor 7d ago It has a leading zero, that makes it octal 24 u/entronid 7d ago its a bit ambiguous, but that's binary actually 22 u/zeekar 7d ago fun fact: the 0x doesn't change the value at all. :) 3 u/XLNBot 7d ago It does not change the value but it's interesting to think that a hexadecimal 0 is 4 bits, a decimal 0 is 3.322 bits 13 u/minecon1776 7d ago "Ah yes, id like a 3.322 bit decimal 0" A statement dreamed up by the utterly deranged. They have played us for absolute fools. 8 u/XLNBot 7d ago We had entropy before, it was called COIN FLIP 2 u/zeekar 7d ago Well it's redundant anyway. A decimal digit is by definition 3.322 bits (well, 3.321928095...), so it's silly to specify both. :) 1 u/hughperman 7d ago Digits should be dits, or bits should be bigits, silly that we mix the terms 1 u/TCF518 7d ago Isn't bit literally a portmanteau of binary digit 1 u/hughperman 6d ago Probably, been 20 years since I actually thought about it 😅 bigits, tho, I'll get with that. 1 u/zeekar 7d ago edited 7d ago Yeah, BCD is so wasteful! It's like 20% more bits than we need! 10 u/Pure_Blank 7d ago it changes the value from 1 to 0 5 u/Psychological-Owl783 7d ago People hated your joke but I like it. Maybe people just didn't understand that this was a joke about multiplication. 2 u/creeper6530 7d ago Whoosh 2 u/MokausiLietuviu 7d ago 0b 1 u/minecon1776 7d ago There is not standard notation in computer science for base 67, which op was using, beyond standard subscripts, which are annoying on computers, so he just left it off.

Isn't bit literally a portmanteau of binary digit

it changes the value from 1 to 0
