What it does

Work with numbers in hex, decimal, octal, and binary and perform bitwise and arithmetic operations for programming and low-level work.
Choose an input base (Dec, Hex, Bin, Oct) and word size (8/16/32/64-bit); the value updates in all bases. Use the bit grid to toggle bits or the keypad for digits and operators.
Supports arithmetic (+, −, ×, ÷, mod), bitwise (AND, OR, XOR, NOT), shifts, rotations, and unary ops so you can match common integer types and workflows.

FAQ

What is a programmer calculator?

A calculator that works in hex, binary, and octal as well as decimal, and supports bitwise and shift operations used in programming.

What are the number bases used for?

Decimal is everyday numbers; hex and binary are common in code (addresses, masks, flags); octal appears in some file permissions and legacy systems.

What does word size do?

Word size (8, 16, 32, 64 bits) limits the value range and how results are displayed, matching common integer types (e.g. uint32_t, int64_t).

GRAPH INEQUALITIES (CALCULATOR + INTERACTIVE GRAPH)

Build inequality intuition by graphing boundary curves: parabolas, lines, and regions. Plot y = f(x) first, then shade regions on paper.

f(x) =

Use * for multiplication (e.g. 2*x). Powers use ^ (e.g. x^2). Functions include sin, cos, tan, sqrt, abs, log, exp.

Examples:

Inequalities add a region-selection step after graphing the boundary. The interactive plotter helps you see the boundary curve accurately before you shade.

For systems, overlapping regions satisfy all conditions simultaneously. Sketch on paper after you identify each boundary.

Computer algebra systems with implicit regions go further; here we focus on fast boundary visualization.

Quick answer

This page plots the boundary y = f(x). For strict inequalities, regions are above or below that boundary; test a point to decide which side.

What it does

Plot a boundary curve matching your inequality’s equality case.
Pick a test point not on the curve and substitute into the inequality.
Repeat for each constraint in a system.
Use lines and quadratics pages for common textbook patterns.

Examples

y = x^2
y = 2*x+1
y = -x^2+4
y = abs(x)

FAQ

Does the tool shade regions automatically?

No. It plots curves. Shading is a manual classroom step with the boundary in front of you.

Strict vs non-strict?

Decide whether the boundary itself is included; plotting still shows the same curve.
