Computer Skills Course: Binary Language of Computers

Free Computer Skills Course: Binary Language of Computers
Transcript:
Computers really only understand two things: On and Off, which in the language of computers are represented by the numbers 1 and 0. This language, made up of just ones and zeros, is called Binary. To better understand binary, let’s take a quick look at the number system we humans use most of the time: The decimal system. The decimal system is a base-10 number system. We use the decimal system because humans have ten fingers, so it makes sense to us to count in groups of ten. With the decimal system, once we get to nine, if we want to express the next largest number, we have to add a digit, and we get 10. Then 11, 12, 13, 14, etc., all the way till 99, when we add another digit to get 100. Binary works in a similar way, but since it only has two numbers, one and zero, it has to use a lot more digits. Here’s how it works: 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000, 1001, 1010, 1011, 1100, 1101, 1110, 1111. Why does all this matter? Why am I telling you this? Are you ever going to have to convert from binary to decimal? Not likely. We are talking about this now so that everything makes more sense when we start talking about file sizes. Let’s learn more about that now.

Thank you so very much for this simple yet amazing video. I was cracking my head and going bonkers but now it seems really easy! 😊

[@DaneHartman]

Most welcome. Thanks for the kind words!!

[@SkanDogVids]

As someone who hated math between yesterday and today i randomly decided to try to learn ny ABCs in Binary as i was going through i picked up on this pattern that's in the video.
Thought i was accomplishing something it turns out learning computer language isn't so complicated 🤣 ill be on to sign language

[@cloudshark0]

When my dad was little he told me he learned this he’s trying to teach me this

[@cat52]

Very good video. I have sent this to my young nephew who is interested in learning this. I am subscribing to your channel, thank you for making this video!

Thanks so much!

[@Cookwithme611]

wow awesome

[@DaneHartman]

Thanks so much!

[@_p_r_i_t_a_m_6605]

Nice

[@DaneHartman]

Thanks!

[@RylunSistar]

how about 0,1,00,01,11,10,

[@DaneHartman]

Great question! 00 is the same as just 0, and 01 is the same as just 1. It works the same way in Decimal. For example, 000095 is the same thing as just 95. Hope that helps a little. Please forgive the long delay, I teach high school computer science full-time and have neglected my TH-cam channel.
