Decimal numbers in the main window

You can change a byte's value by entering a decimal number in the Decimal View.

The Decimal View uses unsigned 8-bit integers. Each decimal value represents one byte, and has one, two, or three digits. The minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 255.

Typing 101 in the Decimal View will set the value of a byte to 101 (the character e).

Typing an e in the Text View, or 65 in the Hexadecimal View, has the same result.


Decimal numbers in different data types

Here you find the specifications of the decimal numbers that are shown in the Data Types Editor.
Use Data Types to Clipboard of the Extra Menu to copy them to the clipboard as text. Use Data Types from Clipboard of the Extra Menu to paste them to the file, if the clipboard contains these numbers as text.
Data Type range
unsigned 8 bits 0 to 255
signed 8 bits -128 to 127
unsigned 16 bits 0 to 65535
signed 16 bits -32768 to 32767
unsigned 32 bits 0 to 4294967295
signed 32 bits -2147483648 to 2147483647
float 32 bits 0 to 3.4E38 (that is 3.4 x 10 power 38 )
A very small number would be 3.4E-38
Use , (comma) or . (dot) depending on the computer settings.
float 64 bits 0 to 1.7E308 (that is 1.7 x 10 power 308 )
A very small number would be 1.7E-308
Use , (comma) or . (dot) depending on the computer settings.


Floating point examples



34000 = 3.4E4 ( or 3,4E4 )

5000 = 5E3

0.005 = 5E-3
