HEX, DEC, BCD, OCT Assignment Script
9/9/25
As those of you are in TECH 3232 know, the script I use for the Number System's Conversion HW broke and marked a number of correct answers incorrectly. The script was written in 2007 and uses the scripting langague PHP. Well an update to PHP that I installed recently, broke the script, hence the issue. I am working on fixing the script now, and will update this post when the script is available for use again.
Moral of the story:
- Know what an update is for before installing.
- Check your scripts after an update to PHP (PHP has done this to me in the past, so I should know better).
Update (9/11/25): I have fixed the issue with the script, so it can be used for Test #1 prep, but I still have some work to do on it.
