About

Graycode

This utility converts numbers between decimal, hexadecimal, binary, and Gray code formats. Changes to one value automatically update the others, making it a convenient tool for engineers. It also features an animated demonstration of the Tower of Hanoi puzzle.

Highlights
  • Decimal, hex, binary, Gray code conversion
  • Real-time updates
  • Handy calculator for engineers
  • Animated Tower of Hanoi solution
  • Supports iPhone, iPad, iPod

This app is used to convert numbers among decimal, hex, binary and gray code. If a user changes any one of these numbers, the other ones will change accordingly. It is a handy calculator for engineers to obtain the binary or gray code values from a decimal, or vise versa. In addition, an animated solution of a Hanoi Tower with three disks is also demonstrated based on the input number.

A=2 B=3 C=A+B Click “Run”, the screen shows: C=5 If the line C=A+B is annotated , A=2 B=3 //C=A+B Click “Run”, the screen shows: B=3 - Variable Naming Rules: Start with letters, and not involving keywords. A, A1, B25, HAT (right) PRINT1, COS (wrong) - The Usage of PRINT: A=10+5 B=10/5 PRITN A,B Click “Run”, the screen shows: A=15 B=2 Default variable name is RESULT , e.g. 16+5*6 Click “Run”, the screen shows: RESULT=46 - Combination & Arrangement: C(n,k) = n!/(k!(n-k)!) A(n,k) = n!/(n-k)! - Complex Number When there is “i” or “∠” on the screen, it automatically enters Complex Number Calculation Mode. e.g. X=3+4i or X=5∠53.1° 9 functions are available for the Mode.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Notebook Calculator at 100% against Graycode's 67%. Notebook Calculator also leads on chart position (#191 vs unranked) and price ($1.99 vs $2.99). Graycode's advantage is update cadence (every 10 months vs every 40 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
