There are only 10 types of people in this world: those who know binary and those who don't. :wink:

Okay, for those who are the other type of people:

1 = 1 * 2 ^ 2 = 1 * (2 * 2 ) = 4
0 = 0 * 2 ^ 3 = 0 * ( 2 * 2 * 2 ) = 0
1 = 1 * 2 ^ 4 = 1 * ( 2 * 2 * 2 * *2 ) = 16
0 = 0 * 2 ^ 5 = 0 * ( 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 ) = 0
0 = 0 * 2 ^ 6 = 0 * ( 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 ) = 0
1 = 1 * 2 ^ 7 = 1* ( 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 ) = 128
1 = 1 * 2 ^ 8 = 1* ( 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 ) = 256
1 = 1 * 2 ^ 9 = 1* ( 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 ) = 512

0 = 0 * 2 ^ 11 = 0 * ( 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 ) = 0
0 = 0 * 2 ^ 12 = 0 * ( 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 ) = 0
1 = 1 * 2 ^ 13 = 1 * ( 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2) = 8192
0 = 0 * 2 ^ 14 = 0 * ( 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 ) = 0
1 = 1 * 2 ^ 15 = 1 * ( 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 ) = 32768
-------------- +
= 42901

In binary: "10 types" means: 1 * ( 2 ^ 1) + 0 * ( 2 ^ 0 ) = 2 + 0 = "2 types" (in decimal) :wink:

Here you can convert from Binary to Decimal or the other way: Binary - Decimal Calculator
(it's a bit quicker than my calculation above..... :P )

I had to learn Binary for my Computer Electronics class I took a few years back, but don't remember much about other than it's 0's & 1's :P

Been programming for 11 years and I can't say I recall any binary stuff from my university days. That whole area got a little "heady" for me. I'm a "git r done" kind of programmer. Wouldn't make much of a teacher but I sure enjoy what I do.

:wink:
