Two horizontal bars growing from the same grey block of $10,000 principal. The upper bar, labelled simple interest, adds ten identical blue slices of $600 because interest is always charged on the original $10,000, and it ends at $16,000. The lower bar, labelled compound interest, adds ten green slices that widen every year, from $600 in year one to $1,014 in year ten, because each year's interest joins the balance and then earns interest of its own, and it ends at $17,908. An amber bracket marks the extra $1,908. Illustrative only: $10,000 at 6% a year for 10 years, compounded annually, with no deposits or withdrawals.

Simple Interest vs Compound Interest: Key Differences

Simple interest grows in a straight line; compound interest curves upward. Learn the formulas, when each is used, and how the gap widens with time.

The word Cat carried down one pipeline. At the top the characters C, a and t sit in boxes with their byte values 67, 97 and 116. Their bits form a single 24-bit strip, 010000110110000101110100, crossed by dashed blue lines at the three 8-bit byte boundaries and solid teal lines at the four 6-bit group boundaries, so the same bits are visibly regrouped. Each 6-bit group reads as a number from 0 to 63, giving 16, 54, 5 and 52, which map to the Base64 characters Q, 2, F and 0. A closing band reads: encoding is not encryption, any decoder reverses it instantly, output is about 33% larger, and short inputs are padded, so Ca becomes Q2E= and C becomes Qw==.

What Is Base64 Encoding?

Base64 turns binary data into ASCII text using 64 printable characters. Learn how it works, why it's used, why it adds 33%, and why it is not encryption.

Three identical one-cup measures of about 240 mL side by side, holding flour at about 120 grams and a density near 0.50 g/mL, granulated sugar at about 200 grams and a density near 0.83, and honey at about 340 grams and a density near 1.42. A weight bar under each cup grows with its gram figure, so the honey bar is close to three times the flour bar even though the cups are the same size. A closing band reads: cups are volume, grams are mass, and ounces depend on context because fluid ounces measure volume while ounces measure weight, so no single cup-to-gram factor fits every ingredient. Figures are approximate.

Why Cups, Grams, and Ounces Are Not Always Equal

A cup of flour and a cup of honey weigh very different amounts. Learn why cup-to-gram conversions are ingredient-specific, and when to reach for a scale.
