<4 weeks to exams… woo… i think its going to b…

Anyway got myself a saw to cut straight. Also got a tube cutter.

Oh well, nothing much really happens around here! Can’t wait for exams to be over! I feel like eating nice stuff. Some how eating makes you feel better! but looking fat doesn’t. So i’m thinking how you look can possibly reflect what kind of mentality you have… or maybe you just don’t even care how you look. Whatever the case, fat == high probability of dying young. Oh man! i typed a double “=” sign That means “equals” in programming… Sigh. I think its making me mad.

Anyway, here’s some interesting stuff about base 16 math!

Its like sorta normal counting only that it goes up to 16 before the ‘tens’ value increases!! haha…

and for base 8 its, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,20,21,22……

weird stuff right?

in this case, 6+5 in base 8 = 13,

46(base 8) +35(base 8) = 70(base 8) + 11(base ten)
= 70(base 8) + 13 (base 8) = 83(base 8) = 67(base ten)

so for base 16, we only have 10 digits? where do the next 6 come from? haha… it says to create your own. Convention is to use letters…
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,1A,1B,1C,1D,1E,1F,20,21,222,23……

Anyway, thats a funny way of counting which amused me for a while until i realised how difficult it would be to multiply and divide. Its like a whole new multiplication table! and divide, dun even need to say. Fractions worse.

8A(base 16) = 8(base 10) x 16(base 10) + 11(base 10) = 139(base 10)

Cool. haha.. oh well.. I’ve got t go back to doing math tutorials. I hope you enjoyed that! really blew my mind.
