Here i wish to give a pointless binary lesson.
Info. 1 byte = 8 bits
1 bit = 1 line of binary
1 line of binary has a number value of 0 - 255
binary uses ascii to translate into numbers and
letters you take for granted.
I will use # ^ # to symbolize exponents.
the number below the equation will symbolize what it is multiplied by, and the line of binary will add up and produce an ascii or ansi value. **remember you can only use 0s and 1s**.
[2^7] [2^6] [2^5] [2^4] [2^3] [2^2] [2^1] [2^0]
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 = 0 value
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 = 1 value
0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 = 3 value
0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 = 7 value
0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 = 15 value
0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 = 31 value
0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 63 value
0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 127 value
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 255 value
One line of this info is one byte, this would be one letter or number on the keyboard.
What these are in ascii or ansi, i do not know without reference.
Connections.
T1 - a t1 can process approx. 1.4 megabits a second.
T3 - a t3 connection can process approx. 49.2
megabits/second
Cable - a DSL or Cable connection can process approx.
30 megs a second.
OC101 **Not sure about number setup on the name**
This is a governmental connection.
This can process around 9.6 Gigabits per second.
This is all the worthless information on binary i have for you now.

Right. as said a bit is one eighth of a byte, which stores 256 different values (0-255). Sometimes programmers refer to 4 bits as a nybble. two nybbles make a byte. Then you have playtes and taybles, but thats just silly.
binary math is very easy. to add you just assess true or false and carry the ones. just remember; two 1's make a 0 plus a carry(1), a 1 and a 0 make 1, and 0 and 0 make 0. 0011 = 3 + 1001 = 9 ---- see where the 1 is over the 1 one the right side? adding these results in a carried 1. so this is what we have... 1 0011 + 1001 ---- 0 next column... we have two 1's. any guesses? carry 1. 11 0010 + 1001 ---- 00 = this equals 0. isnt anything adding up? step 3. only one 1 so no carry. a one is left behind... 11 0010 + 1001 ---- 100 = this equals 100. no, wait! Its six! last step. Only one 1 in the column, so... 11 0010 + 1001 ---- 1100 = this equals 12! A table! -------- 1 + 1 = 0 plus carry 1 1 + 0 = 1 0 + 1 = 1 0 + 0 = 0, duh! Note that only one digit in binary is odd; the first one. all other digits are even, and multiples of 2. turn in next year, for your lesson on multiplication. Ah, heck. I think I'll make a web page. | |
I think you got this switched around some--1 bit equals one single binary digit, which has only the two possible values 0 and 1. It's a byte (which is 8 bits, as you said) that stores 0-255 using the combinations of those bits.
