レッスンノート
Why Computers Use Binary
- Computers use binary because their electronic circuits are two-state devices (on/off).
- Binary uses only two symbols: 0 and 1.
- This simplicity makes binary noise-immune and easy to implement with logic gates.
- Almost all modern computers and devices use the binary system.
Computers use binary because a switch has two reliable states, easy to detect and hard to confuse.
Place Value in Base Two
- Binary is a positional notation with a radix (base) of 2.
- Each digit in a binary number is called a bit (binary digit).
- In base two, each position represents a power of 2 (from right to left: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...).
- The rightmost bit is the least significant bit (20 = 1).
- The leftmost bit is the most significant bit (highest power of 2).
In an 8-bit number each position is a power of two, from 128 down to 1.
Counting in Binary
- Counting in binary follows the same pattern as decimal, but only uses digits 0 and 1.
- When you reach 1, the next number is 10 (binary for 2).
- Binary sequence: 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, ...
- Each time you add 1, you carry over to the next place when a bit becomes 2 (which is not allowed).
- With n bits, you can represent numbers from 0 to 2n - 1.
Bits, Nibbles, and Bytes
- A bit is a single binary digit (0 or 1).
- A nibble is a group of 4 bits (can represent 16 values, 0-15).
- A byte is a group of 8 bits (can represent 256 values, 0-255).
- Bytes are the standard unit for storing data in computers.
One binary digit is a bit, four bits are a nibble, and eight bits are a byte.
Converting Binary to Decimal
- To convert binary to decimal, multiply each bit by its place value (power of 2) and sum the results.
- Example: 1011₂ = 1×8 + 0×4 + 1×2 + 1×1 = 11₁₀.
- Start from the rightmost bit (20) and move left, doubling the place value each time.
- Practice with small numbers: 1101₂ = 13₁₀, 10000₂ = 16₁₀.
Denary, binary and hexadecimal are three ways to count: the same idea in a different base.
Historical Context
- The modern binary system was studied by Gottfried Leibniz in the 17th century.
- Earlier cultures used binary-like systems: ancient Egypt (Horus-Eye fractions), China (I Ching), India (Pingala's prosody).
- Ancient Egyptian multiplication used a method related to binary numbers.
- The I Ching uses trigrams and hexagrams that resemble binary numerals.
