TI-83 Program question...

[CraKaJaX]

Does anyone know of a good program to do this? Every single one I've downloaded doesn't convert a negative decimal number into hex. It's supposed to convert it into 1's comp, then 2's comp, then to a hex number. All the programs for hex conversion on the ticalc.org website DON'T do negative numbers. The program is mainly Dec -> Hex, Octal and Binary I don't really care about. If you have a good program that you use, send me a link

The calculator built into Windows does this wnen viewed in Scientific mode.

I realize, except I don't ever bring my laptop to class and everyone in the class has a calculator that does it except those with TI-83's. The only way is with a program..

I hope this isn't for your CS exams or something - its worth learning how to do by hand...and a lot simpler than it may look.

This says it will do pos/neg nums:

I know how to do it by hand, but it's for a Microprocessors class doing Assembly language stuff, and it's MUCH faster to do it with a calculator.

BTW, I tried that program. Didn't work at all

Make one yourself, I could make a small converter in TI-Basic in HS, I'd assume if you're in a Microprocessors class you can handle TI-basic.

Is there a basic algorithm to convert from decimal to binary?

I believe you just divide by 2 over and over again, your remainder is your binary bit.
