Inspiration
This project was inspired by the use of IEEE-754 binary32 and its applications in our Software Design class CSC207. Using the methods of manual conversion taught to us in that class, we created an automated converter which removes the need to do your decimals to IEEE conversions manually.
What it does
Converts between Decimal and IEEE-754 using input from a decimal number, a 32 character string representing the IEEE-754 number, or from 32 checkboxes representing individual bits that can be switched on or off (1 or 0). The program also falls back to console mode if the GUI closes (provided it is being run on an IDE).
How we built it
- Java, JavaFX
Challenges we ran into
- Converting decimals in-between -1 and 1 to IEEE
- Making a reactive GUI interface
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Live updates
What we learned
- How to properly utilize the JavaFX library to make a functioning GUI program
- How to make event handlers interact with each other via the observable and observer classes
