There are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary and those who don't.

But oh well, if you really want to post 3 twice ...

I am the 5 types of people that don't understand binRy. Explain? (I remember a binary joke in primary, but I have forgotten about primary since ages ago!)

In base 10 (what we use), we have the 1's place, 10's place, 100's place, 1000's place, etc.

But there is another way to write this.

1's place = 10^0
10's place = 10^1
100's place = 10^2
1000's place = 10^3

and so on

So binary is "base-2" so to speak.

1's place = 2^0
2's place = 2^1
4's place = 2^2
8's place = 2^3

and so on

So this means that if you want to write two in base-2, you have 0 in the 1's place and 1 in the 2's place. That is, 10. Three would be 1 in the 1's place and 1 in the 2's place so 11.

I should also mention that in base-10 the highest single digit number allowed is 9 (10-1) so in base-2 the highest single digit number is 1 (2-1). When you get past 9 in base-10 you have to go to the next place and likewise when you get past 1 in base 2 you need to go to the next place.

Seven in base-2 is 1 in the 4's place, 1 in the 2's place, 1 in the 1's place so 111. (1*4+1*2+1*1=7).

Ten in base-2 is 1010 (1*8+0*4+1*2+0*1=10).
