Hullaw rer hendie m'loon, ma name is Binnie. Ah kin chainge strings tae binary representashuns.
geeza string you whish kinvertet tae a binary representaishun:
step 1: learn to spell "wish", then 011100001100 1101011 0000111110 100000001 111100101010001 !

Yes Keith, the code must have excited him.
Now if Hendie could just put out an English version of his file !?

[Keith™]

Yeah hendie, we don't speak brogue, we speak hick

[t-bear]

Dent....I don't even try to understand...I feel like the jungle native who had never seen a white man.  When he pulls out his lighter and flicks it....I fall to the earth in fear and awe.......MAGIC!  These must be gods!

Hendie, your binary rep is a little of kilter. It, by itself, returns a negative number, which can't be done.

[Dent Cermak]

Now how the hell did he know that ? He be bic-flickin' again T-Bear!!

[daron]

Because the converter ain't all that hard, once you get enough people like Stig to 'splain this stuff to ya.

Try this:
(ascii "a")
(chr 97)

The following is an eight bitcode representation of binary numbers.
I think the Chinese wrote this stuff, since you read it from right to left.

128_64_32_16_8_4_2_1 = bit code flags
__0__0__0__0_0_0_0_0 = binary representation of flags. 0 = off 1 = on

64+32+1= 97
01100001 = 97

(chr 97) = a

The negative thing should be self explanatory.

[JohnK]

hes just saying that the binary is screwed up. count the chars. there should be 8 digits in each group.

[daron]

I even tried to fix that and ended up with some really funky characters like @/*. BTW, the left side, when fixed, ends with a 5 char set instead of 8.

[SMadsen]

Never heard of negative ASCII values? I always thought that highlighting a character in a text editor flipped the sign bit?

[JohnK]

...Come on Stig, 'Neg ancii chars' are the latest thing.

[daron]

Hmmm. Well, they were what killed my vl-editor.

Hello clchauvin my name is Binny. I convert strings to binary representations.
Tell me the string you whish converted to a binary representation: what the
heck?


I have successfully converted "what the heck?" to: 01110111 01101000 01100001
01110100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01101000 01100101
01100011 01101011 00111111

I work! Please tell Se7en for me.

Daron, sorry to hear your vl-editor passed away. If you want me to do the eulogy I gotta ask: was it ever alive?!  

Seven, did you implement negative representations in your binary-decimal converter?
