Yes. I made a calculation error there. Thank you.
EXACTLY. So why does the language leave out the type which it directly uses?
Ugh. I give up. No one seems to want this but me…
I’m not sure what you want that you have not already been given…
XOJO can represent Decimal numbers without doing anything special (after all that is the HUMAN default)
if can represent a BINARY number by preceding it with &B (&B111=7)
and OCTAL number by using &O and a HEX number using &H (won’t mention &C as color is outside of this discussion)
So there you have the ability to represent the numbers in any way you choose (altering the presentation layer if you will),
It’s already there. Please give an example of what you want, so we can get this cleared up.
Jon, I just want to make sure you’re clear that you can do stuff like this:
a = 3 + &b11001001
b = &hAF0F / &b0011000111001111
c = &b11001 + &b001100011101 - 5[quote=124520:@Jon Ogden]EXACTLY. So why does the language leave out the type which it directly uses?

Binary isn’t a “type” per se
Its one format you can input values in along with hex, octal & decimal.
And you can output in that format using the various functions.
Or you can mix them together because the “type” they represent is numeric.
It’s just more natural to represent “numbers” in decimal - our more common usage system.
What is it you’re trying to do ?
