I got it working now, thanks. took a while but i figured it out. thanks for the help. one last thing, how would u go about finding which number had more digits and zero-pad the other number? i figured that would be something simple but my brain isn't cooperating...

That is the beauty of the reversed List suggested by baavgai you simply don't have to care about it

[mastapro]

Yea I used his technique of reversing the binary number but I'm still getting problems when I try 2 numbers that aren't the same length. I'm not using a list because I find an array is easier to understand so I'm trying to implement it this way, i think it only works when i pad the zeroes so both numbers are the same length

If you say so ... you are really looking for problems

I have already suggested a class that extends ArrayList<Integer> and return 0 when you exceed the actual size.. this is a piece of cake to implement and you won't have to worry about size anymore

well, of course u are correct pbl haha. i just went thru it and fixed some stuff up. appreciate the help. merci
