1.1 Binary Code

The document discusses binary code, which uses only the digits 0 and 1 to represent all data and instructions that computers understand. It provides examples of how binary represents denary numbers and characters. It encourages learning to convert between denary and binary through a table that maps denary numbers to their binary equivalents. It also notes that every character typed on a keyboard is understood by the computer as a binary value, as shown through the ASCII table. Several tasks are presented to have the reader practice converting between denary and binary and presenting names and numbers in binary code.

Binary Code

111001001000000100001101101111011001000110
0101

OBJECTIVES

1. Be able to recognise binary code

2. Be able to convert denary numbers into binary numbers

3. Be able to convert characters into binary numbers


Computers are not as smart as you think, in
fact, they only know 2 things…

0 and 1

Everything else is told to the computer by a


human, this is called programming.
Computers have millions of
tiny circuits inside.

For a computer

0 means turn a circuit off


1 means turn a circuit on
Humans need to learn the computers language to
be able to tell computers what to do.

The computers language is Binary.

Here is an example of what binary code looks like:

01010100011010000110100101110011001000000110
10010111001100100000011001010110000101110011
011110010000110100001010
The computer can only use 0s and 1s
So for a computer numbers go like is this…

Denary (our
Binary
numbers)
0 0
1 1
2 10
3 11
4 100
5 101
6 110
7 111
8 1000
9 1001
10 1010
11 1011
12 1100
How am I supposed to remember that?!

and a 0 under the numbers that you don’t…

So 5 for us, is 00000101 for the computer

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

We can forget the first few 0s and our binary


number 5 looks like this…

Tas “There are 10 kinds of
people in the world,
those who understand
binary and those who
don’t”

Explain this joke…


Binary code isn’t just about numbers. Every
number, letter and symbol on your keyboard
needs to be converted into binary so the
computer can understand it.

We can see all these conversions in something


called an ASCII table.
From the ASCII table…
You can write your name in binary…

H a n n ah
010010000110000101101110011011100110000101001000

Present your name using binary code.
Every time you type a letter on your
keyboard, the computer understands is as
loads of 0s and 1s!

Here are some other characters you might


need from the ASCII table…
