What is the concept of binomial nomenclature?

Answer 1

Binomal nomenclature is a system of naming species.

If you have a lot of things and you want to classify them one method is binomial sorting. You divided the whole into two successive groups until all are sorted uniquely in a binary tree. For example take the group:

0123456789

Are first sorting criteria will be 'those with enclosed spaces, and those without enclosed spaces'

(enclosed spaces) (no enclosed spaces)

04689 12357

we now have two groups both of which have to be divided.

(enclosed spaces) (no enclosed spaces)

(free ends) (no free ends) (round bits) (no round bits)

469 08 235 17

we now have four groups that need to be divided in two.

(enclosed spaces) (no enclosed spaces)

(free ends) (no free ends) (round bits) (no round bits)

(round bits)(no round bits) 0 8 (corners)(no corners) 1 7

69 4 25 3

Six of the groups are exhausted, having only one member so they are uniquely described and cannot be divided further. Two groups remain to be further subdivided but as there are only two elements in each group, the division is trivial.
