Counting binary bits
Before practicing worksheet, first we have to understand, what
binary number is. Binary number is a set of binary digits. A binary digit had two
symbols 0 or 1. It had base 2. 2 indicate that, how many symbols base 2 consists
of. Computer uses the binary number to process the data. In computers data is in
binary. That means binary data. Before understanding how computer process,
first we have to understand, how to convert binary to decimal and decimal to
binary.
Let we will convert decimal to binary,
Decimal =7
Binary is calculated like this,
First 7 are divided with 2 and remainder is calculated, this process goes on until 2
is divided with 0. See below example for quicker understanding.
2 | 7
-----------2 | 3 - 1
----------------
2 | 1 - 1
----------------
0 -
1
Now write binary digits from below to up, to write binary number for decimal 7.
Binary number for decimal 7 is 111.
Let we will convert binary to decimal,
Binary= 111
Position values are= 2,1,0
Decimal value of specific binary digit formulae
= (position value) * ( 2 pow (position value) )
Now total value = total of each decimal value of specific binary digit.
7

Total value = 1 * 2 pow 2 + 1* 2 pow 1 +1 * 2 pow 0
=1*4+1*2+1*1
= 4 +2+1
= 7
Decimal value of binary number 111 is 7.
Now let we know how computer process data, for that first understand how two
binary numbers are added.
Before understanding addition of binary numbers, first we have to understand the
Boolean algebra principles. Boolean algebra is for operations on binary digits i.e.
1) Sum operation truth table
A
B
0
0
1
1
0
1
0
1
(A + B)
(AND)(Carry)
0
0
0
1
(A^B)
(XOR) (Sum)
0
1
1
0
From the above truth table AND operation generates carry and XOR operation
generates sum. These operations can be done with AND and XOR gates to
calculate total of two binary numbers.
Counting binary bits
Let we will take 2-bit binary numbers for calculating addition,
11 (3)
+ 11 (3)
---------------110
--------------1) Position =0 , Sum (XOR) = 1+1 = 0 , Carry (AND) = 1^1 = 1
2) Position=1 , Sum(XOR) =1+1+ 1 (Previous carry) = 1 ,
Carry (AND)= 1^1^(Previous carry)(1)=1
Now total binary number is 110 (Carry, sum, sum) and decimal value is 6.
This total process is calculated through circuits of AND and XOR gates.
Similarly many operations can be done through, number of different circuits
like OR, NAND, NOR etc. This is a sample example how computer process data.
Now I’ am giving binary numbers to count 1s and 0s.
