Actually, that answer is incorrect. Binary is used to hold information. However, without a context, the information can only be translated as a number. There are two types of binary integers (ironic, right?). The first type is called unsigned. The second type is called signed. If you have an unsigned binary integer, the number can only be positive. If you have a signed binary integer, the first number indicates the sign of the number (and ONLY the sign. A position cannot mean both a value AND positive or negative). A '0' in front means positive, and a '1' in front means negative. So, if the number in question was an unsigned integer, it would have a value of 1024 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 4 + 1 = 1141. If the number in question was a signed integer, it would have a value of (-1)*(64 + 32 + 16 + 4 + 1) = -117.
