   Binary to Decimal conversion - powers
  I don't know how powers with negatives work so I need someone to explain to me how the two lines in bold below compute the results:1*2^2   =  1*4    =    4.1*2^1   =  1*2    =    2.0*2^0   =  0*1    =    0.1*2^-1  =  1*.5   =    0.51*2^-2  =  1*.25  =  + 0.25 -------   6.75For example, I know 1*2^2 == 1 * (2 * 2) = 4; But I don't understand how the results are 1*.5 and 1 *.25 for the last two lines in the sample above.Thanks in advance,xeddiex   
  Negative powers work by dividing by the absolute value of the power. For example 2-1 is equal 1/21 or .5. 2-2 is equal to 1/22 or .25.   ;  Ah, simpler than I thought. Thanks alot SiCrane.xeddiex
