What Is Binary?
Binary is a language written with a combination of ones (1) and zeros (0) that
computers use to carry out commands, inputs, or functions.
Whatever you write onto a computer, a machine inside processes the input and
converts it into binary. It's like using a translator!
Converting Binary to decimal
Using a chart like this: compared to one like this:
Everywhere there is a โ0โ that digit is โoffโ
Everywhere there is a โ1โ that digit is โonโ
An Example
Every digit in a binary number represents a power of 2. For example if we were working
with the binary number โ00001101โ we could convert it to decimal with that chart:
Off Off Off Off 8 + 4 + Off 1 =
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
Converting 23 to binary:
โ Start with all numbers โoffโ โ Find the biggest power of two less than 23 turn it on 23 - 16 = 7 โ Find the biggest power of two less than 7 turn it on 7 - 4 = 3 โ Find the biggest power of two less than 3 turn it on 3 - 2= โ Turn on 1
What is Hexadecimal? โ Similar to binary, but easier to understand. โ It uses sixteen different symbols, the numbers zero through nine, and the letters A through F. Each symbol represents four bits. For example: 7FFFD
