Okay, I'm taking a digital Circuits course, so I figured I'd cook up a TI-BASIC converter, since the function wasn't already built in.
If only it were that easy.
This is what I have so far for the dec to bin part:
My problem is that a decimal 1 comes out as 0, and a decimal 255 comes out as 11111110. So does 256.
What am I doing wrong? Or is this just not possible?

Code:
Lbl B
Disp "DECIMAL:"
Input D
For(X,8,0,-1)
If (D-(2^X))>0
Then
O+(10^X)->O 'That's a Store In command, not a minus and a greater than.
D-2^X->D
End 'For the IF
End 'For the For loopMy problem is that a decimal 1 comes out as 0, and a decimal 255 comes out as 11111110. So does 256.
