Base briefing
Binary (Base-2):
  • Binary is a base-2 number system, meaning it only uses two digits: 0 and 1.
  • Each digit's position in a binary number represents a power of 2. For example, in the binary number 1011, the rightmost digit '1' represents 2^0, the next '1' represents 2^1, the next '0' represents 2^2, and the leftmost '1' represents 2^3.
Octal (Base-8):
  • Octal is a base-8 number system, using digits from 0 to 7.
  • Each digit's position in an octal number represents a power of 8. For example, in the octal number 764, the rightmost digit '4' represents 8^0, the next '6' represents 8^1, and the leftmost '7' represents 8^2.
Decimal (Base-10):
  • The decimal system is the most common base system used by humans. It uses 10 digits from 0 to 9.
  • Each digit's position in a decimal number represents a power of 10. For example, in the number 123, the digit '3' is in the units place, '2' is in the tens place, and '1' is in the hundreds place.
Hexadecimal (Base-16):
  • Hexadecimal is a base-16 number system, using digits from 0 to 9 and letters from A to F (where A represents 10, B represents 11, and so on).
  • Each digit's position in a hexadecimal number represents a power of 16. For example, in the hexadecimal number 3A7, the rightmost digit '7' represents 16^0, the next 'A' represents 16^1, and the leftmost '3' represents 16^2.
