We’re going to take a look at how computers use a stream of 1s and 0s to represent data. Today, we’re going to take a look at how computers use a stream of 1s and 0s to represent all of our data - ...

There are different ways to represent a number. The four commonly associated with modern computers and digital electronics are the decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal. This is the most commonly ...

Here's a C/C++ program that converts decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 99,999 to binary and BCD formats. Using a simple algorithm in conjunction with pointer arithmetic and bitwise shifting increases ...

Beginners often have difficulty reading the value of –2’s complement number; here’s a simple technique that may help. In my previous column, I introduced the SANX-I Microcomputer, whose goal is to ...

Binary arithmetic, the basis of all virtually digital computation today, is usually said to have been invented at the start of the eighteenth century by the German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz. But ...

The natives of a remote Polynesian Island invented a binary number system, similar to the one used by computers to calculate, centuries before Western mathematicians did, new research suggests. The ...
