binary notation

« BACK TO DICTIONARY INDEX

(n.) The base-two numbering system that uses the digits 1 and 0 This system can be used to represent any type of data. Logic circuits can define these two digits as different states in many ways. Binary notation is not divided into discrete groups of four digits like binary-coded decimal notation. The value of each column increases by a power of two, from right to left (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64). Here are examples:

t0 = 0000t10t= 1010t

t1 = 0001t11t= 1011

t2 = 0010t12t= 1100

t3 = 0011t13t= 1101

t4 = 0100t14t= 1110

t5 = 0101t16t= 10000

t6 = 0110t32t= 100000

t7 = 0111t37t= 100101

t8 = 1000t64t= 1000000

t9 = 1001t74t= 1001010
