    Details are in the save description:

    I wish that complete electronics tutorial was finished, so I could learn how to make more compact DEC->BIN converters and BIN->DEC converters.

    here is simple ""tutorial"" on bin to dec and dec to bin (lazy to make it actual tutor sorry , you have to inspect them yourself) , feel free to copy

    The complete electronics tutorial mentions DEC->BIN and BIN-> converters using advanced ARAY/FILT techniques, rather than SWCH-memory.  Until that tutorial is finished, those of us with next to no creativity and poor reverse engineering skills are stuck with large and cumbersome designs for both kinds of base converters; especially BIN->DEC converters, which are necessary for computer or calculator construction.  But at least these designs are more compact, so thanks; I'll give this save a vote up and add it to my favorites.

     well , using swch for bin>dec is simpler than aray since i tried making aray at first attempt but noticed lots of problems , like it was just activating all 16 outputs at once :p

    These bin>dec and dec>bin are not that compact as you think though , filt ones are more compact

    Exactly; BIN->DEC using ARAY/FILT techniques may be more complicated, but they're more compact and compact is necessary in formal computers, which consist of at least 1 byte.  I have found a more compact design using PSTN by Jerehmia, id:3008796, but it would still be too difficult to make it handle 1 byte.
