Editor's Note: This is the first article in a two-part series on decimal representations and decimal arithmetic in general, and on Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) in particular. In this first installment, ...

HERE’S A C/C++ PROGRAM that converts decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 99,999 to binary and binary coded decimal (BCD) formats. Using a simple algorithm in conjunction with pointer arithmetic and ...

Binary codes are codes which are characterized in binary system with alteration from the original ones. The two types of binary codes are the Weighted Binary Systems and Non Weighted Codes. Weighted ...

Do you know how to read binary codes? Pretty impressive if you do, since they’re a computer’s language. Binary coding is a system of counting that boils down to two digits—one (1) and zero (0) that ...

Analog and LCD watches are both useful designs, but ultimately are mainstream timepieces. Using a binary watch is an easy way to set one’s self apart as a tech enthusiast, while impressing your hacker ...

While desktop computers have tons of computing power and storage, some small CPUs don’t have a lot of space to store things. What’s more is some CPUs don’t do multiplication and division very well.

In the computer, all data are represented as binary digits (bits), and eight binary digits make up one byte. For example, the upper case letter A is 0101001. Numbers however can take several forms.

Linux provides commands for converting numbers from one base to another. Learn how to uses these commands and how to make the process easier with scripts and aliases. You might not be challenged very ...

Optimizations in programming have mostly been associated with more efficient data structures or algorithms. Any optimization that uses hardware resources explicitly is generally considered premature, ...

Binary numbers were first described in Chandashutram written by Pingala in 100 BC. George Boole, a mathematician and philosopher, published a paper in 1847 called ‘The Mathematical Analysis of Logic’ ...
