Computing 101

The purpose of encoding schemes in computer systems is to map human recognisable forms of data, such as keyboard inputs, to unique codes that can be understood by the computer in binary language.

The binary representation of the decimal value 65 is 1000001.

Albert Einstein said, 'We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.'
