When we see that number 10, we naturally assume it refers to the value ten.

So, when we read this…There are 10 kinds of people in this

world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

It might seem a little confusing.

In the world today, pretty much everyone assumes numbers are written in base ten.Originated in IndiaThis cultural norm is very useful!

But 10 does not necessarily mean ten.What it really means is…

(1 x n1) + (0 x n0), where n is our base or our number system.

Base ten (decimal)Base ten (decimal)

So in base ten, we’ll set n = ten.Thus…

10 =(1 x n1) + (0 x n0) =(1 x ten1) + (0 x ten0) =(1 x ten) + (0 x one) =ten

So in base ten, we’ll set n = ten.Thus…

10 =(1 x n1) + (0 x n0) =(1 x ten1) + (0 x ten0) =(1 x ten) + (0 x one) =ten

Base ten (decimal)Base ten (decimal)

527 =(5 x ten2) + (2 x ten1) + (7 x ten0) =(5 x one hundred) + (2 x ten) + (7 x

one) =five hundred and twenty seven

527 =(5 x ten2) + (2 x ten1) + (7 x ten0) =(5 x one hundred) + (2 x ten) + (7 x

one) =five hundred and twenty seven

In computer science, we’ll see that base 2, base 8, and base 16 are all useful.

Do we ever work in something other than base 10 in our everyday life?

Base two (binary)Base two (binary)

Just like the other bases…number abc = (a x two2) + (b x two1) +

(c x two0) = (a x 4) + (b x 2) + (c x 1)So..

There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

means there are 2 kinds of people (1x2 + 0x1)

decimal -> binarydecimal -> binary

Algorithm (p. 42) figure 1.17Step 1: Divide the value by two and record

the remainderStep 2: As long as the quotient obtained is

not zero, continue to divide the newest quotient by two and record the remainder

Step 3: Now that a quotient of zero has been obtained, the binary representation of the original value consists of the remainders written from right to left in the order they were recorded.

SummarySummary

Binary representation and arithmetic and Boolean logic are fundamental to the way computers operate.

Am I constantly performing binary conversions when I program? Absolutely not (actually hardly ever!) But understanding it makes me a better

programmer.

Am I constantly using Boolean logic when I program? Definitely! A good foundation in logic is very helpful when

working with computers.
