  2. Skew binary number system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_binary_number_system

    The skew binary number system is a non-standard positional numeral system in which the nth digit contributes a value of + times the digit (digits are indexed from 0) instead of times as they do in binary. Each digit has a value of 0, 1, or 2. A number can have many skew binary representations.

  3. Base64 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64

    As with all binary-to-text encoding schemes, Base64 is designed to carry data stored in binary formats across channels that only reliably support text content. Base64 is particularly prevalent on the World Wide Web [ 1 ] where one of its uses is the ability to embed image files or other binary assets inside textual assets such as HTML and CSS ...

  4. Hexadecimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal

    Hexadecimal (also known as base-16 or simply hex) is a positional numeral system that represents numbers using a radix (base) of sixteen. Unlike the decimal system representing numbers using ten symbols, hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"–"9" to represent values 0 to 9 and "A"–"F" to represent values from ten to fifteen.

  5. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

    Binary-to-decimal conversion with minimal number of digits [ edit ] Converting a double-precision binary floating-point number to a decimal string is a common operation, but an algorithm producing results that are both accurate and minimal did not appear in print until 1990, with Steele and White's Dragon4.

  6. IEEE 754 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754

    For the binary interchange formats whose encoding follows the IEEE 754-2008 recommendation on placement of the NaN signaling bit, the comparison is identical to one that type puns the floating-point numbers to a sign–magnitude integer (assuming a payload ordering consistent with this comparison), an old trick for FP comparison without an FPU.

  7. Ancient Egyptian multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian...

    In mathematics, ancient Egyptian multiplication (also known as Egyptian multiplication, Ethiopian multiplication, Russian multiplication, or peasant multiplication), one of two multiplication methods used by scribes, is a systematic method for multiplying two numbers that does not require the multiplication table, only the ability to multiply and divide by 2, and to add.

  8. Xena (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xena_(software)

    If the file format is not supported or the Binary Normalisation option is selected, Xena will perform ASCII Base64 encoding on binary files and wrap the output in XML metadata. The resulting .xena file is plain text, although the content of the data itself is not directly human-readable. The exact original file can be retrieved by stripping the ...
