how do you read binary code?

Question

i was just wondering how you do it because my friend knows how

Answer 1

Binary code is just 1's and 0's. Reading it is totally arbitrary unless you know what is being coded. The same byte of 8 bits of 1 and zeros could be an ascii character, machine code, or color definition.. ... and on and on. So in actuality your friend is full of poopy.

Answer 2

Each 1 & 0 represents a number. The numbers are in sequences of x2. Example:

16 8 4 2 1 - value
1 0 0 1 1 - binary number

Wherever there's a 1 add the values. 16+2+1=19
10011=19

Answer 3

Binary simplified

For a simplified explanation of binary, think of it this way: We use a base ten system. What this means, exactly, is that the value of each position in a numerical value can be represented by one of ten possible symbols: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. We are all familiar with these and how the decimal system works using these ten symbols. When we begin counting values, we should start with the symbol 0, and proceed to 9 when counting. We call this the "ones" place.

The "ones" place, with those digits, might be thought of as a multiplication problem. 5 can be thought of as 5 × 100 (10 to the zeroeth power, which equals 5 × 1, since any number to the zero power is one). As we move to the left of the ones place, we increase the power of 10 by one. Thus, to represent 50 in this same manner, it can be thought of as 5 × 101, or 5 × 10.

When we run out of symbols in the decimal numeral system, we "move to the left" one place and use a "1" to represent the "tens" place. Then we reset the symbol in the "ones" place back to the first symbol, zero.

Binary is a base two system which works just like our decimal system, however with only two symbols which can be used to represent numerical values: 0 and 1. We begin in the "ones" place with 0, then go up to 1. Now we are out of symbols, so to represent a higher value, we must place a "1" in the "twos" place, since we don't have a symbol we can use in the binary system for 2, like we do in the decimal system.

In the binary numeral system, the value represented as 10 is (1 × 21) + (0 × 20). Thus, it equals "2" in our decimal system.

Binary-to-decimal equivalence:

To see the actual algorithm used in computing the conversion, see the conversion guide below.

Or you could think of it another way. When you run out of symbols, for example 11111, add a "1" on the left end and reset all the numerals on the right to "0", producing 100000. This also works for symbols in the middle. Say the number is 100111. If you add one to it, you move the leftmost repeating "1" one space to the left (from the "fours" place to the "eights" place) and reset all the numerals on the right to "0", producing 101000.

Answer 4

just a bunch of 1 and 0.pathetic.only computer knows the meaning

Answer 5

binary = decimal
0000=0
0001=1
0010=2
0011=3
0100=4
0101=5
0110=6
0111=7
1000=8

and so on, each column represents a power of 2

Answer 6

With a computer

Answer 7

what would be 00110011 ???
