Free public beta until December 4, 2026: every course is open, no card needed. After that, the first chapter of each course stays free and full access is a one-time $39 ($19 for up to 100 founding members chosen for helpful feedback). Your progress is kept. How the beta works

zero extension

Widening an unsigned number by filling the new upper bits with zeros, so its value stays the same.

Zero extension from n to m bits fills bits n..m-1 with 0, preserving the unsigned value.

Examples

Widening the 8-bit 0xFD to 32 bits with zeros gives 0x000000FD, which is 253.
