Discussion:Read Binary

ahaha! I'm with you!

yeah i'm lost too. this post was not helpful at all.

okay. 1x2^5= 101010 543210-place 2^5=32 1x32=32 repeat for other digits, and add together.

If you use Firefox, you can download an add-on called LeetKey, and it enables you to encode and decode binary.

this makes no sense confusing

ok this is actually kind of simple. All you are doing is dealing with your powers of 2. To start off, write down your multiple powers of 2. ex - 2^1=2, 2^2=4, 2^3=8, 2^4=16, 2^5=32, 2^6=64, 2^7=128, 2^8=256, 2^9=512, 2^10=1024, and so on.

In binary you are going to be "reading" from right to left. The number to the furthest right will always be a zero or a one. If it's a zero there, then its a zero, and the same with one. And from there you start adding your powers of 2...if there is a one in that place.

ex. 101010 =(Parenthetical numbers refer to binary order) numbers outside parenthesis are what you add (1)32 + (0)0 + (1)8 + (0)0 + (1)2 + (0)0 = 42

another ex. 01101101 = (0)0 + (1)64 + (1)32 + (0)0 + (1)8 + (1)4 + (0)0 + (1)1 = 109

ex. if code was all 1's 11111111 = 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 255

Now I'm still trying to figure out how to covert binary to words, but i hope this helps you out.

that is vary hard i thought it was like 1010101 and u get abcdefg.

ooh i get it lol. very hard though, I wonder about numbers though.

To make it words you can search for the "ascii table"... This is how they are asigned... :)

It wasn't helpful... Just confused me even more.

Yea I get it sorta? See A=01100001 and 01001001 01000111 01100101 01110100 01001001 01110100 = IGetIt or a "Space" is 00100000

if your not using Fire Fox. use it, its very helpful.

A=01000001 B=01000010 C=01000011 D=01000100 E=01000101 F=01000110 G=01000111 H=01001000 I=01001001 J=01001010 K=01001011 L=01001100 M=01001101 N=01001110 O=01001111 P=01010000 Q=01010001 R=01010010 S=01010011 T=01010100 U=01010101 V=01010110 W=01010111 X=01011000 Y=01011001 Z=01011010

DECODE IT

Why for calculating Binary we multiply by 2 Please reply me at [email protected]

Needs the addition of Two's Compliment and binarys relationship to ascii / unicode

it is to complicated i already no binary say that

the order (left to right) of numbers are 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 the one and zeros(read from right to left)001 is one 0010 is 2 0100 is 4 01000 is 8 010000 is 16 0100000 is 32 and so on and so forth you do not need to add all the complicated stuff with the multiplying exponent whatever.

you can also add that is not complicated at all

don't make articles out of two numbers plz

ok how do i know when a letter ends

I feel like this page should be renamed to "How to convert binary to decimal". This doesn't help you read binary at all... if you had a computer program, it would actually be far easier to read it in the original binary than it would in decimal.

Feature this.

The article starts with an unprovable assumption: humans use base 10 because we have ten fingers. With my 10 fingers I can count -- in binary -- to 1023 in decimal or 1111111111 in binary (the same value.) In addition, I can add, subtract, multiply and divide these small numbers very easily. And, in binary, I only need two symbols, 0 and 1, and far fewer rules to memorize.

Humans have used all sorts of number bases. Fractions of an inch, for example, are binary, as is the English system of liquid volume measurements. This is because dividing something in half can be done with amazing accuracy with just your eyes. (Gallon, half gallon, quart, pint, cup, half cup, quarter cup, ounce, tablespoon.)

Angular measurements were base 60 for degrees, minutes, and seconds, and we still use these whenever we consider time or navigate the seas. You may need to ponder why a circle is divided into 6 groups of 60 degrees, but consider that that makes it possible to divide a circle into both binary fractions (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, ...) and ternary fractions (1/3, 1/6, 1/12, 1/24, ...).

You can learn to count on your fingers in binary very quickly. With your hand hovering just above a table, with no fingers touching, you have a zero value represented. Press the little finger on your right hand down on the table and you have counted 1. Now press the ring finger on the same hand down while lifting the little finger, and you have counted 2.

Why? Because, in binary, adding 1 to 1 overflows the 1 position and causes a carry of one to the next position to the left, the two's position in this case. This is just like adding a 1 to a 9 in base 10, as 10 cannot be represented in a single digit in base 10.

To count to 3, just place the little finger back down on the table with the ring finger. These two fingers touching the table represent the value of three, because a 2 plus a 1 is 3.

To count to 4, place the middle finger on the table and lift the other two fingers. The right middle finger represents the value four. Just because I say so. The next finger represents the value of eight, and the thumb represents the value of sixteen. Thus, if you keep counting using the same rules I just explained, you will count to 31 on the five fingers of your right hand before you run out of fingers and need to represent 32 with the thumb of your left hand.
