2.4.1 BIN (Binary Code)
(1) Definition
Binary is a numeral system that represents numeric values using two symbols, 0 (off) and 1 (on).
Decimal notation uses the symbols 0 through 9. When the symbols for the first digit are exhausted (a
digit reaches 9), the next-higher digit (to the left) is incremented, and counting starts over at 0.
In binary notation, only the symbols 0 and 1 are used. After a digit reaches 1, an increment resets it to
0 and the next digit (to the left) is incremented. (The numeric value becomes 10, which is equal to 2 in
decimal.)
Table2.3 shows the numeric representations in BIN and DEC.
