ECE 270 Slecture 1: Converting Integers to Binary

  Slecture made by Robert Wayner

Preface:

Everyday we view numbers and use them for our work, studies or just for fun. The key factor is how we can understand these numbers and then use them. But how can we get a computer to recognize regular, everyday numbers such as 2013, 777 and 123? A basic computer cannot recognize these numbers in this form but we can change the form to a more logical, algorithmic form. This logical form which is known as binary has been made specifically for computers to be able to read and interpret numbers. This Slecture will describe how to convert normal everyday number format to binary.

Examples of binary and basic binary to integer translation
