Thread: asm bin equivs

That's not even CLOSE to the same thing.

A more accurate example is me saying.

"Give me the binary representation of 5".

And you responding with.

"0x5"

As opposed to.

"0b00000101"

I never said anyone was confused, I was just saying for the sake of the OP and furture reference that his post wasn't as explicit as it could have been.

Clear?

No, not at all... because that's not what he was asking and that is apparent to everyone including yourself. If he himself used hexadecimal in his own examples, as you so intelligently identified... why do you think he would care what representation the solution is in?

Zacs7 example was spot on... if someone were to ask you to solve:

Code:

0x7 + 3

It wouldn't matter if you answered 10 or 0xA because the question implies that the form of the solution is allowed to be ambiguous.

Yes, you did... you said "The post is misleading" and then directly reiterated the point two more times. This implies that you believe the question could lead someone to misunderstand the question and lead them to answer the question incorrectly. This is a forum, kid... everything you write is being recorded.
