Binary

Computers operate with something called "binary operations". These binary operations have "bits" arranged together in groups called "bytes". The bits have values of 1 and 0. These values are powers of two; ones, twos, fours, eights, etc. This is read from right to left.

e.g.

1001= 8+0+0+1=9
1011=8+0+2+1=11
1111=8+4+2+1=15

In ICT 12 the computer that I use is number one, therefore the binary code is 0001. This will also be used in the footer for whatever paper I print out and hand in.
