Those who understand binary...can...

Some funny guy told me that my signature was wrong (I will not mention the name but if he comes forward then fair enough)

You can see in my signature that I have put
"There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who do not"

This person did not, for some reason he pm'd me saying that 2 in binary (the reason behind the 10) is this:

00110010 <- Which if you can understand is 50

I thought I would share with you this moment as it made me laugh
And if the rest of you disagree with me then I will have to post up a lesson on Binary lol
 
LMAO!!! I have the same signature as you do!!! I never noticed!!!
Anyway, what that guy said is not true...
Would you like me to change sig...youve probs had it more time then me cuz i only changed it recently...

I dont know, nor do i want to know about binary. But im guessing this person which you speak of used http://nickciske.com/tools/binary.php. If you type "2" (without quotes) into the text box, then click decode, it comes up with 00110010

thats 100% correct cuz every single letter, number etc. has 8 bits which is 1 byte, 10 in binary is not 2, type in notepad one character and check the size, it will be 1 byte, every binary number has 1 bit, questions?

ok, i have been doing a liitle research and found out that i was wrong about 1 part, computer works different, that what u were talking about is mathematical binary, 10 in 2 but however computer recognizes it as 00110010, you were right and i was right cuz there are two parts of binary, mathematical binary and the one that computer uses, computer recognizes a number as a character

0=0
1=1
2=10
3=11
4=100
5=101
255=11111111 = 8 bits

this is my final and true statement

its not possible cuz number "50" has 16 bits=2 bytes, each bit is one binary number, example (these are the binary numbers, 0 and 1) 1 has 1 bit and 0 has 1 bit, when they make 8 bits u get 1 character, it can be number, letter etc. (they are all unique of course)

your confusing characters with actual binary numbers

one character or a byte is 8 bits and can be from 0-255 decimal, however, 50 decimal in binary is indeed 110010

yeah i know that now, computer reconizes numbers as characters
 
I think most of you have gotten confused so I will clear things up.
10 is 2 in binary full stop. 11010 is 50 in binary full stop.

What you people are getting confused with is the ASCII table which has different values of the ASCII KEYS not the ACTUAL numerical number 2.
 
Right me and my teacher confirmed this
You guys have got in confused with the ASCII value of 2. which is 00110010

But the joke is done in the NUMERICAL value of 2, in this case 10

Thats that cleared up completely lol
 
okay this isn't that hard, starting from right to left, assign values in this way: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 and so on depending on how many places you have, then wherever there is a one in the binary, take the corresponding number from the list above and add it to whatever other positions have a binary one. Like for instance, any binary number ending in one will be odd. Taking 00110010 for example, we have a 2, 16, and 32. Adding them together gets us 50.
 
I already sorted this

0010 - The NUMERICAL value of 2 (the one in the joke)

00110010 - The ASCII valu3 of 2 (also the NUMERICAL value of 50)

Ah, but what of the values on the other side of the radix? :rolleyes:
