I understand Binary!

I learnt it today because I am taking an online course, I can get my A+ certificate with it, but if you give me an 8 digit number of 0's and 1's I can give you the answer.

Example:

00000010 = 2
00000111 = 7
00101101 = 45 etc. etc.

Binary is easy. If you can count by twos you can count in binary.

Hex still throws me for a loop sometimes though. I actually have to stop and think about it for a second.

 

[stuffradio]

There are 10 kinds of people in this world; those who understand binary and those who don't.

 

[Nug]

i dont undestand it, please explain`?

 

[stuffradio]

it's simple, 10 in binary means 2... hence there are 2 people

 

[Nug]

and 40 means 8?

 

[T^2]

Lol, no gardfield. Binary only uses 0s and 1s. This is a good site: http://www.pccomputernotes.com/numbering/numbering01.htm

 

[link92]

and 40 means 8?

No, because it is in base 2, only 0 and 1 are valid characters.

 

[themoose]

um, there are no 4's in binary.. only 0's and 1's.

lol, yeah Bruce... I just noticed that now

Anyways in Binary Bi means 2, who knows what nary means... but it's called base 2 because there are only 1's and 0's

2 ^ 0 = 1
2 ^ 1 = 2
2 ^ 2 = 4
2 ^ 3 = 8
2 ^ 4 = 16
2 ^ 5 = 32
etc.
