Editor's Note: This is the first article in a two-part series on decimal representations and decimal arithmetic in general, and on Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) in particular. In this first installment, ...

In the computer, all data are represented as binary digits (bits), and eight binary digits make up one byte. For example, the upper case letter A is 0101001. Numbers however can take several forms.

The following table shows the decimal values of binary numbers. Just as the largest value in a decimal number is all 9's, the largest value in a group of binary digits is all 1's. A decimal digit ...

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 - ...

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 is a number system that only uses two digits, \(0\) and \(1\). It was invented by German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Binary code is used widely in computer programming, so it is ...
