Radix Clock and Calculator for PC

The MultiRadix Clock & Calculator is a versatile application designed to facilitate a deeper understanding of different numerical base systems through interactive features.

Features Overview

Binary Clock: This feature implements a digital clock that operates across five numerical bases, providing a real-time display of time in both 12-hour and 24-hour formats. It also has a Clock Stop feature for the user to assimilate the various bases being shown. It serves as a practical example of radix systems in action, akin to the internal workings of digital devices.

Radix Calculator: The Radix Calculator is an interactive module that allows users to input and convert values among five numerical bases:

Decimal (Base-10)
Hexadecimal (Base-16)
Octal (Base-8)
Binary (Base-2)
BCD (Binary-Coded Decimal Base-2)


As users enter a number, such as the decimal value 110, the calculator dynamically displays its equivalents in the other bases:
Hexadecimal: 6E
Octal: 156
Binary: 1101110
BCD: 0001 0001 0000
This feature is especially beneficial for those in computer science or programming fields, providing immediate conversion feedback during input or editing.

Synergy Between Clock and Calculator

The Binary Clock and Radix Calculator are designed to complement each other, enhancing the user’s comprehension of radix systems. The clock visually demonstrates the representation of time in different bases, while the calculator offers a hands-on experience with number conversion. This combination serves as an effective educational tool, allowing users to observe and interact with the concepts of numerical base systems.

For example, the Binary Clock visually illustrates the binary progression of time, aiding in the understanding of binary sequences. Simultaneously, the Radix Calculator enables practical experimentation with conversions between different bases, reinforcing the theoretical knowledge with an interactive experience.
