Capt. Quirk,

Computers store numbers internally in binary.  LCDs, serial terminals, etc, all use ASCII to display anything.  It's like the difference between "3" and "three".  The first is a number you can add using math, the second is the English word version of the same number.  You have to convert binary numbers to ASCII strings in order to display them.

Thanks,
