What are Binary Codes? Can you explain them so that even I can understand?

Answer 1

Binary is the number system of computers since computers can electronically handle a 1 or a 0 (on or off electric charge).

By making a series of numbers of 1s and 0s allows you count in binary

0
1
10
11
100
101
110
111
1000
1001
etc.

It is as if you count from 1 to infinity by using only the 0 or 1 digit.

These binary numbers (codes) have equivalent numbers in other number systems, for instance, decimal.

0 = 0
1 = 1
10=2
11=3
100=4
101=5
etc.
By converting these binary codes into decimal "codes": we can use a computer for number operations
------------------
We can also use sequences of binary codes to represent letter characters. One way to do this is called the ASCII character set (AMerican Standard Character Interface interchange ...or something like that). In this, a set of 8 bits (0 or 1) represents all characters. UNICODE is a different set. You get the idea.

Answer 2

Binary numbers means base 2 (as opposed to base 10, which we also call decimal).

In base 10 the number 111 means:

(1 x 10^2) +(1 x 10^1) + (1 x 10^0) =

100 + 10 + 1 =

111

In base 2 the number 111 means:

(1 x 2^2) +(1 x 2^1) + (1 x 2^0) =

4 + 2 + 1 =

Binary code simply means assigning different meanings to different binary numbers. For example we could make 0001 be A, 0002 be B, 0003 be C, etc.

Two very widely used binary codes are ASCII (used in Microsoft files and Unix files) and EBCDI (used on mainframes).

Answer 3

In the decimal system, each position in a number has 10 possible characters (0-9). The actual value being represented is that number multiplied by 10 raised to the power of that position - 1. This is called a base 10 number system. For example, xyz in decimal is really x * 10^2 + y * 10^1 + z *10^0. 543 in decimal = 5 * 10^2 + 4 * 10^1 + 3 * 10^0.

Binary is another way of representing numbers. Each position has two possible characters to choose from (0 or 1). Therefore, each value is that number multiplied by 2 raised to power of that position - 1. This is called a base 2 number system. For example, xyz in binary is really x * 2^2 + y * 2^1 + z * 2^0. 101 in binary = 1 * 2^2 + 0 * 2^1 + 1 * 2^0 = 5.

Computer hardware represents binary with either an electrical charge or no charge, and builds memory and processors from logical gates that operate on binary.

Answer 4

Binary code is 0's (zeros) and 1's (ones) These represent an on or off condition (like a light switch). This is all a computer really understands.
