In the electronic world, binary is the main building block.
Electronic circuits operate on two possibilities, they are
either ON or OFF. Understanding this is the basis of Binary.
Without binary numbers, modern electronics and computers would
ultimately cease to exist. Binary allows a computer to make a
decision from input, and produce an output. And from these
decisions, today's electronic world was born. A "1" in binary is
evaluated as an ON. A "0" in binary is evaluated as OFF. This
value can also symbolize another meaning. Therefore, a "1" in
binary is also TRUE and "0" is FALSE. Through these values you
get binary logic, which allows a computer to actually "compute".
As you have already learned, each bit is the holder for the
value of a binary digit. These bits are grouped together to form
a byte. This creates a series of on/off switches that tell the
computer what to Have you ever wondered how to convert decimal
numbers into binary? Well here's your chance. Below is a simple
tutorial, which will educate
