Binary Entropy Calculator is an educational computer-science tool for exploring a standard computing relationship.
Enter the requested values using the stated units. The calculator validates the numerical domain and applies H₂(p) = -p log₂(p) - (1-p) log₂(1-p).
Variables: p = Probability (%).
Example: p = 50% → H₂ = 1 bit.
It is intended for study, classroom exercises and quick exploration of the stated computing relationship.
No. Real systems can include hardware, software, protocol, workload, caching, scheduling and implementation effects beyond the simplified model.
