Binary is known as machine language. Data is stored and manipulated inside the computer in binary. The binary number sytem is based on two digits, 0 and 1 each number being expressed in powers of two. The binary number system is much simpler that the decimal system. It is very compatible with digital electronic circuits that are either ON(0) or OFF (1) also TRUE (0) or FALSE (1). The two binary digits of 0 and 1 are called bits, which evolves from the two words binary digits. To count in binary you only have to remember 0 and 1. The names of the first few places in the binary notation are: 16s 8s 4s 2s 1s 0 0 0 0 0 Notice that these places are powers of two: 16s means 24 or 2x2x2x2 8s means 23 or 2x2x2 4s means 22 or 2x2 2s means 21 or 2 1s means 20 Conversion Example 1 Write the equivalent of 1101 (base two) in decimal notation. 1 1x8 =8 1 1x4 =4 0 0x2 =0 1 1x1 =1 total =13 11012 = 1310 1s compliment and 2s compliment used to represent positive and negative number. 5 = 0000 0101 1s compliment of 5 = 1111 1010 2s compliment of 5 = 1111 1010 + 1 = 1111 1011 Actually I want to contact you. But as you know when I met you on the net I have many things to ask you concerning with the computer subject and mostly you are with your own work and stress and I decided not to ask any other body about all the thing I want to know and those things that I want to know in my study and I also gave up learning any others. I just stand and live only to support my family with a very small amount. Most of the time I don’t want to be in a new world, there is no one who knows me. At that moment I can get relief and forget about my pain and stress. I thank you all not only you HOT, tayoke , pauk and all the friends. Here I am nearly mad.

This is because of depression. (797 = 0011 0001 1101) 1382 = 0101 0110 0110 + -797 = 1100 1110 0011 (13 bit) 1 0010 0100 1001 Answer : 10 0100 1001 i.e., equivalent decimal 585
