📏

Base-2 Positional weights

Binary is a positional numbering system in Base-2. Each column digit represents a power of 2, starting from the rightmost Least Significant Bit (LSB) at 2⁰ up to the Most Significant Bit.

Formula:Value = Bit_k × 2^k + ... + Bit_0 × 2^0.
Example:1101 = (1 × 8) + (1 × 4) + (0 × 2) + (1 × 1) = 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 13.
🧠

Hardware Electronic States

Computers operate entirely on binary switches because logic gates can only resolve two voltage levels: High (1 / ON) and Low (0 / OFF), ensuring maximum physical signal reliability.

Logic: High Voltage = 1 (switch closed). Low Voltage = 0 (switch open).
Example: CPUs process billions of these binary states every microsecond inside register pipelines.
➕

Signed vs. Unsigned Bit Representation

In standard unsigned binary, all bits count as positive weights. Signed representation uses the MSB as a sign bit (1 for negative) and uses systems like Two's Complement to perform subtraction.

Signed Mask: The leftmost bit holds the negative sign weight (e.g., -128 in an 8-bit block).
Example:11111111 represents -1 in 8-bit signed two's complement, but 255 in unsigned form.

Tips & Best Practices

💡
Powers of 2: Each bit in a binary number represents a power of 2, starting from 2⁰ on the far right.
💡
Trailing Zeros: Leading zeros in binary (e.g., 0010) don't change the value (2), but are often used to pad strings to 8 or 16 bits.
💡
Even/Odd: A binary number is always odd if it ends in 1, and even if it ends in 0.

Algorithm Comparison & Best Use Cases

Binary (Base-2)

The native language of electronics. It uses only two states: 0 (Off/False) and 1 (On/True). Every digit is a "bit".

Example: 1111 = 8+4+2+1 = 15.

Decimal (Base-10)

The standard human counting system. It uses ten symbols (0-9). To convert binary to decimal, we sum the powers of 2 for every '1' bit.

Example: 10.5 in decimal is represented differently in binary (floating point).

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Q How does positional binary arithmetic resolve to decimal values?

In binary, each position represents an increasing power of 2 from right to left (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128). An active bit '1' adds its place value to the running total, while '0' adds zero.

Q What algorithm converts decimal numbers into binary bits?

The successive halving algorithm divides the integer by 2 iteratively, collecting the modulo remainder (0 or 1) at each step until the quotient becomes 0. The collected remainders written in reverse order form the binary representation.

Q How does Two's Complement arithmetic handle negative signs?

Two's Complement treats the leftmost bit as a negative weight (e.g. -128 in an 8-bit register). To negate any binary value, all bits are inverted (NOT operation) and 1 is added to the result.
