Radix Quest Quickstart Guide
Get started with the Radix Quest calculator and unit converter.
Step 1 — Choose a Tool
At the top of the application, select one of the available tabs.
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Calculator | Mathematical expressions and programmer calculations |
| Converter | Physical and digital unit conversions |
| Help | Syntax reference and usage tips |
The Calculator tab is selected initially.
Step 2 — Calculate an Expression
In the Expression field, enter:
2*(3+5)Click Evaluate or press Enter.
Result:
16Additional Examples
sqrt(144)Result:
12sin(pi/6)Result:
0.49999999999999994Trigonometric calculations use floating-point arithmetic, so some results contain small rounding differences.
Step 3 — Work with Number Bases
Enter:
0xFF + 0b1010The hexadecimal value 0xFF represents 255, and the binary value 0b1010 represents 10.
Result:
265Select Show all bases from Primary display base to view the result in decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary.
Step 4 — Enable Integer Mode
Change Mode from Floating-point to:
Integer / Bitwise
Additional settings become available:
- Bit width
- Signed interpretation
The supported bit widths are 8, 16, 32, and 64 bits.
Example
Configure:
Mode: Integer / Bitwise
Bit width: 8-bit
Signed: Enabled
Expression: 255Decimal result:
-1The underlying 8-bit pattern is:
1111 1111Disable Signed to interpret the same bits as:
255Step 5 — Try a Bitwise Expression
In Integer / Bitwise mode, enter:
0b1010 & 0b1100Result:
8Binary representation:
0b1000Other supported operators include:

xor
~
<<
>>Step 6 — Convert Units
Select the Converter tab.
Choose a category such as Length.
Then configure:
From: m
To: ft
Amount: 10The converted result is approximately:
32.80839895Conversions update as the amount or selected units change.
Step 7 — Swap Units
Click Swap to exchange the From and To units.
For example:
From: m
To: ftbecomes:
From: ft
To: mThe amount remains available for recalculation.
Step 8 — Review Calculation History
The Calculator section includes a History panel.
Each successful calculation adds an entry.
Use:
- ↺ Use to restore an expression.
- Copy to copy its displayed result.
- Clear history to remove the session's history.
History is limited to 30 entries and is stored in application memory.
Step 9 — Change the Theme
Use the Theme selector in the upper-right area.
Available choices:
- Auto (system)
- Nocturne
- Aurora Prism
- Cyber Violet
- Ocean Glass
- Terminal Mono
- Paper Ivory
The selected theme is saved in browser localStorage.
Step 10 — Clear the Calculator
Click Clear to remove the current expression and result.
This does not automatically clear calculation history.
Use Clear history separately when needed.
