Binary is well suited for computers because it only needs two symbols to represent numbers a 1 and a 0. In a computer a circuit can be in 2 states on and off hence in the simplest implementation"on" represents a 1 and "off" a 0.

What is the binary code for 53?

Divide 54 by 2. Use the integer quotient obtained in this step as the dividend for the next step. Repeat the process until the quotient becomes 0. So we get answer 110110


What is the advantages of binary digits over the decimal?

Computers do not understand decimal notation. All information (both instructions and data) must be converted to a binary representation before the machine can understand it. We use the symbols 0 and 1 (binary notation) but the machine has a variety of physical representations it can use to encode binary data, including transistors, flux transitions, on/off switches and so on.


What does Binary code use to create a type of Morse code that the computer understands?

Binary code is the native language of the machine; no translation is necessary. However, the binary encoded data may be abstract, high-level instruction code (program source code) that must be compiled or interpreted in order to produce the required machine code the computer understands. A software program is used to perform this translation; each programming language provides its own compiler and/or interpreter specific to each machine type and operating system (the platform).


What type of binary coding does Xusenet use?

Uuencode is the oldest code that xusenet uses to program it's binary coding and is considered a reliable source of coding by many of its many international computer users.


In what way does binary resemble a language?

Our computers are digital computers as opposed to analog computers. Digital computers process data and instructions made up of words or bytes which are composed of a number of bits. Normally 8 bits make a byte, either 2 bytes (16 bits) or 4 bytes (32 bits) make a computer instruction or a data word. It all depends on the computer design. The smallest piece of information (part of an instruction or data) is the bit. A bit represents something that can have two values. We call them "0" and "1". Because it can only have two values, we refer to the computer as a binary computer and its machine language as a binary language.

Personal computers commonly use the binary code system. It relies on 1's and 0's to indicate an on and off pattern for the computer to process.


How can a Canadian computer talk with a Chinese computer?

Computers transmit information in binary code (also called "Machine Code") and then the computer's Operating System takes that binary code information and displays it in the language that the operator has chosen for it to be displayed it. All computers, regardless of language or country, use the same machine code.

Binary code is the basic language of "ones" and "zeros" with which computers operate. It is useful to people working in computer science to know how to convert between binary and decimal notations, for various reasons involving basic fundamental operations of computers.


What is the purpose of binary codes?

A Binary code is a way of representing text or computer processor instructions by the use of the binary number system's two-binary digits 0 and 1.So the purpose of binary code is to issue human readable code, changed to machine code (binary) that the computer understands and can execute the instructions.

Do computers today still use binary code?

The circuits in a modern computer processor are made up of billions of transistors. A transistor is a tiny switch that is activated by the electronic signals it receives. The digits 1 and 0 used in binary reflect the on and off states of a transistor where 0 can be represented by a low voltage and 1 with a high voltage.


Why computer use number system?

Computers cannot understand languages. They can only compute data. Because of that, we use binary code because that is pure data.
