About the Book

This book explains how the binary works & how it is used by computers to represent information including positive & negative integers, characters & real numbers. It explains the logical & bitwise operations used to manipulate information & perform arithmetic. We also briefly look at how computers store this information in memory & secondary storage, & how it can be transmitted between computers.

Topics covered include:

INTRODUCING NUMBER BASES & BINARY

CONVERTING FROM BINARY TO DENARY & VICE-VERSA
How to Convert a Binary Number to Denary
How to Convert a Denary Number to Binary
