As in any base system, start at the far right. Because your digits are all zeros and ones, I'm assuming you want to know what 10110011110010--a binary number--is in decimal. The answer is 11, 506.

This is because the first digit (zero on far right) is the one's place. The second digit is the two's, third digit four's, fourth digit eight's, fifth digit sixteen's, etc. If there is a one, you simply multiply one times that place. For instance, there is a zero in the fourth place. So, zero times eight is zero. Don't add anything. For the fifth place, there is a one. So, sixteen times one. Add sixteen. Start at the far right, and do this all the way across.

0+2+0+0+16+32+64+128+0+0+1024+2048+0+8192.

You'll get 11,506.

Try it in decimal, using the same idea but using ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, etc, and you'll realize that this method of calculating numbers works for any base system. Which is exactly what a base system is. Just a different way to write the same number.

In fact, the digits you describe above, because they are all zeros and ones, can actually be in any base system. If it were in the decimal system that we are used to, the answer would be

0+10+0+0+10,000+100,000+1,000,000+10,000,000+0+0+10,000,000,000+100,000,000,000+0+10,000,000,000,000.

In this case, when you add all that up, it gives exactly what you would expect: the same number:

10,110,011,110,010

You can choose your own base, and find the answer.

Also, if you had a number with higher digits, you can use the same system to calculate the answer. (In binary, there are no digits higher than one. In any other base, there are.)

In decimal, calculate: 982

2+(8*10)+(9*100)

or

2+80+900

equals

982

Once you understand this, you understand the basics behind using any base system. You can even make up your own symbols and create a base system. (Hexadecimal basically does this by using letters for anything higher than 9.)

8192 + 0 + 2048 + 1024 + 0 + 0 + 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 11,506

I don't know what she meant by it having to be divisible by eight. Yes that's a computer byte, but that's not what this is, right? Anyway, that's what the binary equals in base ten. Of course, that's assuming the number was binary. That isn't necessarily so.

But now I'm still stuck with the question, "What does it mean?" Darned if I know.

Your string of ones and zeroes is assumed to be 14 binary bits. Try to interpret it as two ASCII coded letters @ 7 bits each:

101 1001 = 59 = Y
111 0010 = 72 = r

= Yr (short form of Year)

May be this helps

It is Access-List and a wildcard mask
in sub netting 0's are ignored and 1's are checked.
Were as to apply a wildcard mask the 0's are checked and the 1's are ignored as the address goes to the Router interface.
You don't know what I am talking about?
It is a bit like we don't what you are on about!

It means nothing. If you are referring to a computer's binary code then it is still wrong. Because they is 8 bits to a byte. Binary codes are made up of 1's and 0's in a series of 8 bits or 1 byte.

According to the ascii chart each letter or symbol has to have 7 digits. You have 14 so it makes 2 letter or symbols.
It makes Yr. or yr
Yr stands for Year
So I can't tell you what it means but it is (Yr).
If you convert it to digits it becomes 11,506

i think that it is binary, so use a base of two . . . 2^0, 2^1,2^2 . . . etc
if i remember how to do it correctly it is 11,506 . .
otherwise i am backwards and it is 5,069
isn't that sequence out of a rock song, i don't think they were really going for meaning so much as what it sounded like

Well if that was a binary number then in dec its 23012 but actually I think its just the answer to the da Vinci code.

Like they say -
there are 10 types of people in the world - those who understand binary, and those that don't.
