How many of you know how binary works?

[Action Lemon]

How many of you out there know how binary works? It would be intresting to know if any programmers actually know binary or at lest how it works nowadays.

[Miles]

I had to learn it for a networking class. The numbering system is a simple enough concept, I think. In regards to programming I don't actually know certain things I probably should know at this point, though, like the applications of bitshifting and all that.

[ReinlynxPSI]

I know it works off base 2, but that's about it. :c

I'm part of the ten kinds of people who know binary. Quite easy once you know how to count to 1000.

Yeah, and it depends how you want to represent these numbers. It can be a signed or unsigned integer, a floating-point number, a character, or even a flag. In general, programmers don't think in binary. We read and write in hexadecimal because some programming languages don't support binary literals. It's also more concise.

[bigpotato]

I would say at least 101.

[VinnyVideo]

I do. We covered binary conversion in several of my undergraduate classes, and I've tutored people with things like subnetting homework in the past.

Course clear! You got a card.

I learned it in high school electronics, since I'm pretty sure it's how you're supposed to read resistor colour-codes? I think? I've totally forgotten that, to be honest.

Except for the actual reading the number. That's pretty easy once you know the trick.

Falcon Punch is the result of the Sun heating fists. It drives the Blue Falcon. Heating causes destruction of water into the pain, where it then hurts, creating rain. Rain creates flowing water in tears, which can then be converted into other forms through more pain.



This fight has only just begun...

I get it

[Xander]

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

Me.

[Action Lemon]

Very funny.

[DustinVG]

Maybe a passing familiarity.

[Action Lemon]

Ok, I dont get that one.

Ok, I dont get that one.

Oh, it's not a binary joke, it's my genuine level of expertise.

[Andy Journey]

Yeah, I do. Numbers at least.

[Jeff]

I know how it works, but I haven't bothered to memorize numbers.

I've mainly only used binary values as flags. In those situations it doesn't really matter what the value is, just which bits are active.
