Who came up with this shitty system and the fuck does it work???
I'm usually good at maths and a good logic thinker but I can't wrap my head around this. Like, where the fuck is the logic in this??? I need to fucking understand this crap otherwise I will fail at CS and rot in a mcdonalds for the rest of my life.

>I'm usually good at maths
No you're not
Stop being stupid
Imagine you only have two fingers to count with. Also google "how do I manually convert decimal to binary" and get the fuck out.
Decimals are usually attributed to the old Arabic people, though there are theories that it was the Phoenicians
This is literally elementary school level. Stop being a faggot.
Imagine falling for bait this easily
It works just like decimal except you only have two digits.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9, and after 9? You add another digit:
10 11 12 ...
98 99, out of digits again.
100 101 102 ...
Base 9:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8, after 8?
10 11 12 ...
87 88, out of digits...
100 101 ...
Base 8:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, after 7?
10 11 12 ...
66 67, out of digits
100 101 ...
...
Base 2:
0 1, after 1?
10 11, up to maximum digit again:
100 101 110 ...
>base 2
Get on my level.
It works in the same fucking way as base 10 but with 2 instead of 10 dumbfuck.
Apart from this being either a) a massive brainlet, or b) bait
I'll go over this for people who don't get it
There are 4 numbers as you see. Each one has there own number related to them but are read backwards (like how you read jap comics things) the numbers are 1248 (base 2) and go in the order og 8421 to get the numbers you add the 1's to each other
Eaither than or look up a YouTube video on basic binary
>good at maths
>good logic thinker
user, even mcdonalds' employees aren't this much of a brainlets, you should kys.
>I will fail at CS
you deserve it.
Okay so this is the easiest way of understanding binary in a practical sense.
In decimal, the number 163 is equal to
1*10^2 + 6*10^2 + 3*10^0
In binary, you replace the 10 with a 2 and you can only use the digits 0 and 1, so 163dec is 10100011 in binary, or
1*2^7 + 0*2^6 + 1*2^5 + 0*2^4 + 0*2^3 + 0*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 1*2^0
why twice 25? Is the second meant to be 26 instead? Otherwise, interesting take at conscript
second one is "10", as in "25 and 0". first one is simply a shorthand notation
>in decimal the number 163 equals 703
The absolute state
Fuck off, man.
>doesn't understand the binary system
The absolute state of Jow Forums in 11111100010

Its simple really, its just almost the most dense way of presenting numbers and storing them (the most dense would be three) and its the easiest way to do electrical scheme with this than anything most probably.
nah man it's 010000001100
This
Oops, that's a typo. Should be 6*10^1
This. base 10 was G-d's chosen system. We need computers with 10 voltage levels instead of the soi-tier 2 we use now. Only then will we access the real secrets of computing
imagine being this autistic lmao
Binary was a mistake
Ternary is where it's at
ha ha kill yourself retard
And you haven't see Gray code.
0 0000

Here's another facet of binary to help you grok it is a number system.
what's 000110 in base 10? (2+4=) 6.
now do a left-shift bit operation (shift once):
000110
1 = electricity
0 = no electricity
I know man I was just fucking with you cause it's funny
Which mcdonalds will you be working at?
satan approves
Yeah, it's fucking retarded we should have used a base twelve system.
Just because we happen to have ten fingers doesn't make it the best base.
>90-99 does not exist in base 9
>80-88 does not exist in base 8
>70-77 does not exist in base 7
Imagine being this much of a brainlet
27403.56 = 2*10^4 + 7*10^3 + 4*10^2 + 0*10^1 + 3*10^0 + 5*10^(-1) + 6 * 10^(-2)
10110 = 1*2^4 + 0*2^3 + 1*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 0*2^0
Does that help?
But....he's correct and you're actually the brainlet.
What system, positional notation? Babylonians, I guess.
Not using Horner's method
10110=((((1 * 2 + 0) * 2 + 1) * 2 + 1) * 2 + 0
Move one to the left, zero, one, zero...
4 bits is a nibble?
Anime-girls-with-question-marks.jpg
Yes, and 2 bits a crumb
Son stop taking bait in this bait thread
The point was to explain the concept of base.
>I'm usually good at maths
Binary is math and was invented waay before computer science was theorized
>I need to fucking understand this crap otherwise I will fail at CS and rot in a mcdonalds for the rest of my life.
You don't need to understand binary to be good at CS
It works exactly like decimal and it's even simpler for some operations like multiplication. Also it easily maps to logic and generally easy to encode.
>I....I was only pretending to be retarded....
Numerical systems are a fascinating concept, yes a lot of people struggle with it.
It will be easier for you in the long run if you try to learn the ideas behind numerical systems as broadly as possible. Then applying it to binary will only be a small part of that concept and will be easily understood.
a, b, c, ba, bb, bc, ca, cb, cc, baa, bab, bac,...
a, b, c, ab, bb, cb, ac, bc, ...
3, 9, 2, 93, 99, 92, 23, 29, 22, 933, 939, 932, ...
You can't be serious. My 8 year old niece can understand this.
I'm a legitmate fucking 100 IQ brainlet that took IT in college and I figured that out in like 5 minutes
Four zeroes
0000
Zero n° 1 is 1
Zero n° 2 is 2
Zero n° 3 is 4
Zero n° 4 is 8
Literally all you have to do is add
0001
0+0+0+1 = 1
1001
8+0+0+1 = 1
1111
8+4+2+1 = 15
Jesus fucking christ and I tought that I was the brainlet here
Fuck I messed up 1001
8+0+0+1 = 9

get off of your cloud you brainlet
Sexagesimal is where it's at.
