Binary is a base-2 number system
invented by Gottfried Leibniz that's made up of only two numbers or digits: 0 (zero) and 1 (one). This numbering system is the basis for all binary code, which is used to write digital data such as the computer processor instructions used every day. PROCESSING QUESTIONS:
Who invented binary system?
What digits represents binary number? What is the significance of binary code to computers? ACTIVITY Draw switch of a light. WHAT IS BINARY? Binary is a base-2 number system invented by Gottfried Leibniz that's made up of only two numbers or digits: 0 (zero) and 1 (one). This numbering system is the basis for all binary code, which is used to write digital data such as the computer processor instructions used every day. HOW DOES BINARY WORK?
The 0s and 1s in binary
represent OFF & ONN, respectively. In a transistor, a "0" represents no flow of electricity, and "1" represents electricity being allowed to flow. In this way, numbers are represented physically inside the computing device, permitting calculations. WHY DO COMPUTERS USE BINARY? Binary is still the primary language for computers and used with electronics and computer hardware for the following reasons: Binary's 0 and 1 method is quick to detect an electrical signal's off (false) or on (true) state. Binary is the most efficient way to control logic circuits. HOW TO READ BINARY NUMBERS To get the total of this example, read the chart from right to left and add each column's value to the previous column: (8+32+64) = 104. As you can see, we do not count the bits with a 0 because they're "turned off." AMERICAN STANDARD CODE FOR INFORMATION INTERCHANGE (ASCII) When you have eight bits, it is equal to one byte. If you took the binary code from the first example (01101000), which totaled "104," and put it into ASCII, it would produce a lowercase "h." To spell the word "hi," you would need to add the binary for the letter "i," which is 01101001. Putting these two codes together, we have 0110100001101001 or 104 and 105, which represents "hi."
