Description
The HP-16C was HP's first (and so far only) programmer's calculator.
Numbers and Bases
The HP-16C could display numbers in Hexadecimal, Decimal, Octal and Binary formats using a standard 7 segment display. The hex digits displayed as AbCdE with the "b" and "d" in lower case so they could be distinguished from "8" and "0". Because some bases (especially binary) could result in very long numbers, a windowable display was provided along with an indication of more digits to the right and/or left. The display could be shifted a digit or a window at a time.
