It supports hex, binary, octal, and decimal, as well as operations like bit shifting, masking, and rotations. The author does not own a physical HP 16C but has a Swiss Micro s DM16L, a modern remake with improvements such as a 2-line display. The author also mentions that none of the available calculators currently run Linux, including the HP Prime G2 and other graphical calculators.",
