Does it show decimal, hex, and octal?
Yes — all four representations are displayed side by side.
Is there a maximum number size?
Numbers up to 2^53 are handled precisely.
What is binary used for in programming?
Bit manipulation operations like AND, OR, XOR, and shifts work directly with binary representations.
