What does a 1 represent in binary code?

Answer 1

It is counting how many bits there are in a byte i think :D

Example

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256

1 = 1

(so here their is 1 bit)

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256

2 = 0 1

(2 bits so you place a 1 under the 2 and a 0 under the 1)

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256

3 = 1 1

(3 bits so you place a 1 under the 2 and a 1 under the 1. one 1 + one 2 = 3 )

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256

4 = 0 0 1

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256

5 = 1 0 1

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256

6 = 0 1 1

and so on :)

i think that's answered your question :D
