The main thing I enjoyed about chapter one was that it was a solid refresher for me. There a many gears and gizmos that go on with computing and computers that I really do not spend much time thinking about in depth anymore so it is nice to have a good review.
The primary reason why binary was one of my favorite parts of chapter one is because a while back one of my brothers asked if I could write binary. I didn't and still do not, but it really sounded interesting to learn. I simply never started the task because it seemed a bit daunting. Going over binary a bit in lab sim sort of opened me back up to the idea and the very useless task of learning binary. I will give it a good shot and see where I go from here!
Lastly, as a classic teaching in programing here is my textbook first output for binary code!

"Hello World!" indeed :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's been years since I saw a translation table between each alphabet and commonly used special characters!
Glad to see 1.1.6 Binary Number System Facts reacquainted you with binary numbers ^_^
I must admit, I am not familiar with binary at all and here I am trying to use the translation table to translate your first output. ;-P
ReplyDeleteIt boggles my mind how just two numbers opens up a new world. I must admit it is a world I don't understand, but I am glad there people in this world that do and create magical things.
ReplyDeleteBinary numbers is definitely something new to me! I can't write in Binary but would love to try it! Thanks for sharing the binary table and the coding. I will show my nephew the binary table he will love it.

ReplyDeleteThis just motivated me to re-learn Binary numbers! It's important to revisit concepts that we may not use every day, but are still important to understand in the world of computing, as it can be a fun and useful skill to have in the world of computing. Best of luck as you explore this area further!

ReplyDeleteAs much as I find binary interesting, I don't think I'll ever have the patience to sit down and learn it for myself. I think I'll leave the computer engineers to that.
ReplyDeleteHello Elijah, binary code does sound sophisticated and could pose as a difficult skill to learn. Binary code is also very important in the way we utilize computers because it makes everything we do on a computer possible. I can relate binary codes to regular computer coding that writes rules and directives in the way the computer can comprehend.
ReplyDeleteThis is crazy how someone came up with this idea of computer language. Why would they not make it easier to read. HAHA.
ReplyDelete"Hello World!" —your binary code
