Binary code

A binary code represents text or computer processor instructions using the binary number system's two binary digits, 0 and 1. The binary code assigns a bit string to each symbol or instruction. For example, a binary string of eight binary digits (bits) can represent any of 256 possible values and can therefore correspond to a variety of different symbols, letters or instructions.

In computing and telecommunications, binary codes are used for various methods of encoding data, such as character strings, into bit strings. Those methods may use fixed-width or variable-width strings. In a fixed-width binary code, each letter, digit, or other character is represented by a bit string of the same length; that bit string, interpreted as a binary number, is usually displayed in code tables in octal, decimal or hexadecimal notation. There are many character sets and many character encodings for them.

A bit string, interpreted as a binary number, can be translated into a decimal number. For example, the lower case a, if represented by the bit string 01100001 (as it is in the standard ASCII code), can also be represented as the decimal number 97.

PLAYLIST TIME:

Penny Arcade

by: Roy Orbison

A light shone in the night some way ahead
Blue turned into green, then it was red
And stirring the night, love music played
The light I saw in the night was a Penny Arcade
"Hey, step up and play", each machine seemed to say
As I walked round and round the Penny Arcade
Just ring the bell on the big Bagatelle
And you'll make all those colored lights cascade
And music played at the Penny Arcade
Well, it played and it played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last dime
At first I thought it a dream that I was in
Lost, lost in a sea of glass and tin
But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans
I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machine
"Hey, step up and play", each machine seemed to say
As I walked round and round the Penny Arcade
Just ring the bell on the big Bagatelle
And you'll make all those colored lights cascade
And music played at the Penny Arcade
Well, it played and it played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last dime
"Oh, step up and play", each machine seemed to say
As I walked round and round the Penny Arcade
Just ring the bell on the big Bagatelle
And you'll make all those colored lights cascade
And music played at the Penny Arcade
Well, it played and it played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last, roll up and spend your last
