In appearing knowledgeable and figuring out problems, it helps to know a few measurements. On this pages I've included what I consider some important stats to know (but many of which I forget).
Important Constants
| • Pi: | 3.1415927 | (Constants: Pi) |
| • e: | 2.7182818 | (Constants: e)... base of natural logarithms = lim(0->inf) (1+1/n)^n |
Handy Conversions
| • 1 mile ~= 1.6 kilometers |
| • 1 kilogram ~= 2.2 pounds |
Useful Computer Science Values
| • 28 | = 256 .....(one byte - unsigned int / char) |
| • 210 | = 1,024 ............... 220 = 1 million ..... 230 = 1 billion (and so on) |
| • 216 | = 65,536 .....(two bytes - short) |
| • 232 | = 4,294,967,296 .....(two bytes - int) |
| • 264 | = 18,446,744,073,709,551,626 (1.8x10^19) .....(four bytes - long) |
