How Does Binary Even Work?
Binary as you know is made up of 1's and 0's. The numbers system works like this:
|128|64|32|16|8|4|2|1| it doubles every time you add a new number.
Bits and Bytes!
Addition in Binary
Addition in binary is not as simple as you may think. Here is a a couple ways of working it out.
So if you have the equation:
1010
1100
10110
This translates as
10 +
12
22
This is a simple method however there is a much more difficult way however more efficient way of doing it which is working out the equation in binary without translating it over in to human numbers. It works as follows:
Take the equation
0101 +
1001
Now to works this out you need to first of all add the two ones on the right hand side together to make 10 then you ski the next one because they only involve 0's and 1+0 equals 1 and finally 0+1 equals 1 so you should end up with 1110 which equals 14 in human numbers which is the correct answer!
