How do you do binary counting?

Just like decimal counting except you only have two digits (0 and 1) instead of 10 (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9). But counting is the same. In decimal you count from 0 to 9, then you start over by putting a 1 in the "tens" place and a 0 in the "ones" place. Eg., 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12, etc. Same with binary, except since you only have two digits, it goes 0,1, 10 (note I put a 1 in the "two's" place) 11, 100,101, 110,111, etc. In decimal you have the "ones, tens, hundreds, thousands" places, etc, and in binary you have the "Ones, twos, fours, eights" places, etc.

So 100 has a 1 in the "fours" place and equals decimal count of 4. 101 has a 1 in the fours place, a 0 in the twos place, and a 1 in the ones place so it equals a decimal count of 5.

What is difference between counting and binary semaphore in os?

Binary semaphore is a semaphore with the integer value ranges over 0 and 1 whereas the counting semaphore's integer value ranges over unrestricted domain. Binary semaphores are easier to implement comparing with the counting semaphore. Binary semaphore allows only one thread to access the resource at a time. But counting semaphore allows N accesses at a time. The 2 operations that are defined for binary semaphores are take and release. The 2 operations that are defined for counting semaphores are wait and signal
