^Hal^ 1 Posted May 1, 2002 They are all numbers. Its another way of counting. In the X-wing series, it says somewhere that Verpine count in base 6. This means that they count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20 etc. We count in base 10. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 etc Binary is base 2, so it goes 1,10,11,100,101,110,111,1000 etc Hexidecimal is base 16, so it goes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,1a,1b,1c etc All these are just numbers.

Andy 60 Posted May 1, 2002 actually I think zero is counted as the first number eg: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Link 3 Posted June 3, 2002 That's because 0 is the first in binary. Rarely is a 1 first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
^Hal^ 1 Posted June 3, 2002 That's wrong. If there is a 0 at the beginning of a numbe, it is pointless 0111 is the same as 111. Both = 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted June 6, 2002 Hmm... must be different binary codes we are using... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
^Hal^ 1 Posted June 7, 2002 binary's not a code. It's just another way of counting. Look. I'm gonna put the numbes up to ten in all of the bases 2(binary)-10(decimal) Base 10(Decimal): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Base 2(Binary): 1 10 11 100 101 110 111 1000 1001 1010 Base 3: 1 2 10 11 12 20 21 22 100 101 Base 4: 1 2 3 10 11 12 13 20 21 22 Base 5: 1 2 3 4 10 11 12 13 14 20 Base 6: 1 2 3 4 5 10 11 12 13 14 Base 7: 1 2 3 4 5 6 10 11 12 13 Base 8: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 10 11 12 Base 9: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 That's it. They're all just ways of counting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Link 3 Posted June 8, 2002 I thought we were talking computer language. Sorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
^Hal^ 1 Posted June 10, 2002 I thought you might be. In that, I don't know the translations, but i do know that the 1s and 0s represent Positive or Negative output from logic gates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starstripe 0 Posted August 6, 2002 How do you decode binary? Cos in truth, binary is just a number, lie hexidacimal or decimal. The letters are assigned a code. A might be 1, B might be 10, C 11, D100, but I don't know. that would be a lot of zeroes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
