Jessica AndzouanaJessica Andzouana is a Software Engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. With over five years of professional experience in front-end development, digital art, and design, she is passionate about emerging technologies such as blockchain and AI. Her background as both a programmer and artist, paired with a highly design-conscious mindset, provides her a fresh perspective and unique skill set to produce creative solutions in her field. She works at Alcacruz as a Software Engineer, and received a dual BS/BA degree from Santa Clara in Computer Science and Studio Art.
Software EngineerI think one of the best things that you can do to learn programming is to have a project to work towards. It's very motivating when you can see how the things that you're learning are applicable to real-world situations. One of the most basic projects you can do when you're learning, for instance, is a calculator. You can use all of the different things that you've learned in order to create it. -
QuestionHow can I turn binary into a sentence?
Community AnswerYou translate a string of binary code to decimals and then translate the decimals into html code. For example, 111011= 123, 123= { . Write multiple strings of binary code and you'll get a sentence. -
QuestionCan I learn to read binary if I am frightened of math?
Community AnswerYou will need some basic understanding of math (addition and multiplication) or a calculator. -
QuestionHow do I add two lines of binary numbers together?
Community AnswerIt really depends on the method you're using. If you're looking for a sentence conversion, then the computer automatically reads in sets of eight e.g 00111111 (?), 00111101 (=), 01000001 (A) etc. However, the process the computer goes through is much more complicated than that. Essentially, every five digits is equal to either a symbol, number, or letter.

QuestionAre all sets of numbers in groups of 6 or can it be more or less?
Community AnswerBytes are groups of 8 bits, but you can encode numbers with any amount of bits, each place keeps increasing by a power of two as you read along from right to left.
-
QuestionWhy does method 2 start with a power of 0?
Community AnswerBecause using that method, the first number read has no numerical value, regardless of it either being 1 or 0. It is what is necessary to get that particular method to work.
-
QuestionHow do you communicate with a binary language?
Community AnswerYou can encode letters as binary using an encoding scheme (Unicode, etc.) and send the binary to someone else. The other person has to decode the binary back into letters using that encoding. Bytes (8 bits) can be thought of as numbers between 0-256, and most characters can be encoded as single bytes.

QuestionHow would you write 12 in binary?
Community Answer1100: that's one 8, plus one 4. -
QuestionWhat if I add a 2 to binary?
DonaganTop AnswererThe numeral 2 does not exist in the binary system. The binary equivalent of 2 is 10 ("one-zero"), which means one 2 and zero 1's. Adding in the binary system is done the same way it's done in the ten-based (or "decimal") system. See Add Binary Numbers. -
QuestionIs there a converter for binary to letters?
Community AnswerYes, simply search online for a "binary to text" converter. There are many so you shouldn't have any problems finding one.
-
QuestionHow do I tell the difference between binary letters and numbers?
Community AnswerBinary is always a number. However, when converted to denary (decimal numbers), that number can be compared to the ASCII chart to see what letter/symbol it represents in ASCII code. For example, 01000001 is 65 in denary. 65 is Capital A in ASCII. Binary to be translated into ASCII is typically written in sets of eight binary digits, like in the example. Sometimes the leftmost zeroes are dropped to remove redundancy. -
QuestionAre there more detailed instructions that can help me understand this concept?
DonaganTop AnswererThere are several other useful wikiHow articles about the binary system. Search for them on the search bar at the top of this page.

QuestionPlease explain why 111011 is 123 instead of 59?
DonaganTop Answerer111011 in binary form is indeed equal to 59 in decimal form. Any other value would be incorrect.
-
QuestionWhen reading binary, do I directly see letters and words?
EpcotMagicTop AnswererNo, you will not directly see letters or words in binary's raw form. Binary fundamentally consists of a series of zeros and ones (0s and 1s), and letters and words are represented by specific combinations of these digits. -
QuestionWhat careers or jobs require an understanding of binary code?
EpcotMagicTop AnswererKnowledge of binary code is primarily useful for programmers, especially those working closer to hardware or with low-level systems. Other fields like computer engineering or digital forensics may also benefit from this understanding.

QuestionHow can I write "I love you" in binary?
EpcotMagicTop AnswererYou can write "I love you" in binary as 01001001 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101.

QuestionHow do you read a binary number out loud, from left to right or right to left?
DonaganTop AnswererRead it left to right as you would read anything else.
-
QuestionDivide binary numbers 1101001 by 11111?
DonaganTop AnswererThe easiest way to do this is to translate the binary numbers into base-10, perform the division, and then translate the quotient back into binary. However, there's another way to do it. See Divide Binary Numbers.
-
QuestionWhy do you put zeros on the left if they don't count?
DonaganTop AnswererZeros are not usually inserted on the left. In normal usage the left-most digit is always a 1. (In the above article, they've placed some zeros on the left merely as a teaching point.)
-
QuestionHow do I turn binary numbers into letters manually or without using converters?
Community AnswerBecome proficient in reading binary numbers and memorize their associated values on the ASCII chart.
-
QuestionWhat do you use binary codes for?
Upnorth HereTop AnswererBinary codes are useful for machine instructions in which "on" and "off" are the only two allowed states of a given component (switch, LED, memory cell, etc). -
QuestionHow do I convert between bases?
DonaganTop AnswererTo convert from one base to a second base, the easiest way is to covert the first base to base-10 and then covert the base-10 number to the second base.
-
QuestionHow do I install binary coding hardware?
Community AnswerThere are a few apps you can install where you type in values or generally what you want and it will return in binary code. Look for one and download it, the enter your information according to the app's instructions.
-
QuestionCan I use 3 instead of 2 on Method 1?
PinguTop AnswererNo, that will give you a completely different number. For example, binary 10 would be decimal 2, while trinary 10 would be decimal 3. A system that uses 3 as base instead of 2 is called trinary and used quite rarely. -
QuestionHow can I turn binary into the alphabet?
Community AnswerBinary is only in numbers. ASCII is one of many ways to represent an alphabet using binary.
-
QuestionCan I use binary code for software?
Community AnswerIn reality, all computer software is binary when it is translated into "machine code".
