Binary number numerals. For example, the binary numeral 100 is pronounced "one zero zero", rather than "one hundred", to make its binary nature explicit, and for purposes of correctness. Since the binary numeral 100 represents the value four, it would be confusing to refer to the numeral as "one hundred" (a word that represents a completely different value, or amount). Alternatively, the binary numeral 100 can be read out as "four" (the correct "value"), but this does not make its binary nature explicit. Counting in binary is similar to counting in any other number system. Beginning with a single digit, counting proceeds
Binary number Mauchly and Norbert Wiener, who wrote about it in his memoirs. The Z1 computer, which was designed and built by Konrad Zuse between 1935 and 1938, used Boolean logic and binary floating point numbers. Any number can be represented by a sequence of bits (binary digits), which in turn may be represented by any mechanism capable of being in two mutually exclusive states. Any of the following rows of symbols can be interpreted as the binary numeric value of 667: The numeric value represented in each case is dependent upon the value assigned to each symbol. In a computer, the
