Describe arbitrarily large number value at point or region in Emacs. If value is a number then binary/octal/decimal/hexadecimal/character values and conversions are shown. For strings each character is processed in the same way.
Arbitrarily large numbers are supported via yabin.el.
Use describe-number-at-point on point/region or describe-number to input value manually.
Might be preferable to bind describe-number-at-point to some key:
(global-set-key (kbd "M-?") 'describe-number-at-point)When using "101" as input to describe-number-at-point or describe-number:
The package understands binary, octal, and hexadecimal prefixes, i.e. "b", "0b", "#b"; "o", "0o", "#o"; and "x", "0x", "#x" respectively:
Arbitrarily large number inputs are supported:
In the case of using a string, e.g. "bin", it will process each character value separately:
"b->d" means binary to decimal, "o->d" means octal to decimal, and "x->d" means hexadecimal to decimal.
