Programmers Calculator

Learning how to write source code is time-consuming and requires some basic knowledge in how to program. However, if you master such methods, you can easily create unique websites for you and friends, or develop small apps.

When it comes to encrypting your code and protect them from being used by others, can be challenging, without a proper tool. Programmers Calculator comes to your aid to compute hash algorithms, encode strings, base convert, and encrypt text.

The provided layout is plain and clear-cut divided into two separate sections, the category menu on the left, and the calculators on the right. As its functions are in plain sight, and no additional settings are offered, it becomes accessible even for those less experienced. There are eight distinct groups, each with its own characteristic options. Make sure you have .NET Framework installed on the computer, as it's required for the program to run.

The first one lets you transform a string to hash algorithms, like MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and SHA512. All you have to do is copy and paste the line into the field, and the result is automatically generated.

In the base conversion, you need to enter the decimal number, and the app calculates the binary, octal, and hex equivalent, while you write. The third category helps you convert between string and Base64, following the same process as in the first option. String to Binary is similar with the base transformation, only here it only converts from sequence to binary and hex.

Another useful feature is the encryption, where you have to paste the content directly from the clipboard and choose the desired encoding method, Ceaser or Vigenere. Last but not least, the file hash generator helps you compare checksums for a specific file, by selecting the hash algorithm.

For example, it's like comparing two hash keys to see if they correspond or not. Green color means it's correct, while red, signifies it's been altered. The last option lets you shorten a URL.

The bottom line is that Programmers Calculator is a reliable and user-friendly application that comes in handy primarily to programmers to convert from strings to hash algorithms, encode and encrypt content.
