Description
Problem Statement Programmers need to work with both signed and unsigned values. Calculator is currently optimized for signed values only.
Evidence or User Insights For example, while calculator will works on INT64 numbers, if I try to paste in a UINT64 value, e.g. 18403114778001080163, it shows as invalid input. Also, currently, the Bit Flip pane only supports signed numbers (the most significant bit is the Sign bit). Unsigned number support is a gap in our programmer mode.
For example, "256" does not fit into a single byte (requires a word):
Proposal Add support for unsigned values in programmer mode.
Goals
- Support both signed and unsigned values in programmer mode.
- Support the option to switch between working with signed and unsigned values.
- All applicable operations should adapt to signed/unsigned status.
- Ensure that terminology is consistent with standards when referring to types like QWORD, DQORD, WORD, and BYTE (these terms generally refer to the unsigned versions).
Non-Goals
- None
Low-Fidelity Concept
Requested Assignment I'm just suggesting this idea. I don't want to implement it.
