Study Notes
Computers and Binary Language
- Computers use a binary language consisting of only two digits: 0 and 1.
- This binary system allows computers to perform complex tasks, including calculations, text processing, image creation, and more.
- Humans use a decimal system with ten digits (0-9) for counting, while computers use a binary system with only two digits.
- To represent numbers in binary, computers use a sequence of 0s and 1s.
- For example, the number 0 in decimal is represented as 000 in binary, and 1 in decimal is represented as 001 in binary.
- Computers can represent larger numbers by using more digits in their binary representation.
- This system enables computers to count beyond the limitations of their binary digits.
- The ability for computers to represent numbers in binary using just 0 and 1 is a foundational aspect of computer science.
