Description Jeremy Newton 2011-10-11 14:47:24 UTC 
There currently is no handling between converting fractions of numbers.

For example if I put in 0.101 in binary, the octal/decimal/hex should say 0.12/0.625/0.A instead of graying out.

I figure this isn't implemented because it may cause a mess of numbers converting between base ten and octal/hex/binary. In that in mind, I propose two methods of implementation:

1) Round the answer to a set number of places if exceeding the number of places

2) Gray out the answer if exceeding the number of places
