What is the binary code for 777?

Answer 1

Answer:This depends upon what one means by "binary." The technical definition of binary is "base 2," a numeral system that treats the number 2 as decimal does the number 10. When a digit reaches 10 in decimal, it resets, and the next highest digit is increased by one. Likewise, binary digits start at 0, go up to 1, then reset to zero as the next digit is incremented. Here are the first few binary numbers: 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111. . . Under this system, the decimal number 777 becomes 110000100. However, when many people say "binary," what they really mean is "ASCII;" an encoding system that converts binary numbers into text. When put through ASCII decoding, the sequence "110000100" is meaningless. If we wanted to print out three sevens, we would take the code for seven -- 00110111 -- and repeat it three times, yielding "001101110011011100110111."
