Why computers use binary language?
This is an historical question/answer.In the old days, mainframe computers (like the ENIAC) used telephone relays as computational elements, relays are electronic-magnetic switches: a magnet can be turned on by driving a current through the primary side of the relay, this magnet pulls a little switch on the secondary side of the relay from one position to another. Defining the relaxed position as zero and the attracted position as one, two values are represented.By combining multiple relays to form a larger value is an easy trick, it's like writing numbers using multiple digits:in decimal (ten-valued numbering) the number ten is represented by one ten-valued digit and zero one-valued digits:1 * ten + 0 * one = 10 = tenThis very same trick is used in binary (two-valued numbering) where the number two is represented by one two-valued digit and zero one-valued digits:1 * two + 0 * one = 10 = twoAs you can see the meaning of 10 differs by the numbering system, when we want to write ten in binary, we have to chain multiple digits together. First again in the decimal system:Hundred is represented by one ten-times-ten-valued digit, zero ten-valued digits and zero one-valued digits:1 * ten-times-ten + 0 * ten + 0 * one = 100 = hundredNote that I wrote hundred as ten-times-ten, this is the whole idea behind numbering systems!Writing hundred in binary, we needone two*two*two*two*two*two-valued (sixty-four-valued) digit,one two*two*two*two*two-valued (thirty-two-valued) digit,zero two*two*two*two-valued (sixteen-valued) digits,zero two*two*two-valued (eight-valued) digits,one two*two-valued (four-valued) digits,zero two-valued digits andzero one-valued digits:1 * sixty-four + 1 * thirty-two + 0 * sixteen + 0 * eight + 1 * four + 0 * two + 0 * one = 1100100 = hundredThis can be done easily with long division, but instead of checking how many times the value can be subtracted, you only have to check whether it can be subtracted (being either once or not at all):hundred - one-hundred-twenty-eight is less than zero (0 * one-hundred-twenty-eight)hundred - sixty-four is (equal to or) greater than zero (1 * sixty-four), remains thirty-sixthirty-six - sixty-two is (equal to or) greater than zero (1 * thirty-two), remains four... (check for every other doubling from one)Now you know how binary works, in a similar matter any other numbering system may be devised, some of the "more popular" are octal (eight-valued) and hexadecimal (sixteen-valued). Basically they are both ways to represent binary in a more readable way; each three binary digits may be grouped in one octal digit, each four binary digits may be grouped in one hexadecimal digit.Now back to why we use binary. The relay is not used a low anymore, other, more compact, alternatives are currently in use.The transistor is a small (about a match-head) device where the current flow from one point to another can be controlled by a third point, by changing the voltage on that third point. This is somewhat similar to the relay principle and is called semi-conduction; a piece of material either conducts or not depending on certain conditions (semi is a fancy name for half, so it conducts "half" the time).Combining multiple transistors in one device (getting rid of the bulky housing of each transistor) saves a lot of space. The separate transistors are so to say integrated in a single device, hence these devices are named integrated circuits or ICs.A computer contains a lot of these ICs, some of them housing over a million transistors. Yet they are still based on transistors, which are based on relays (or radiotubes, but let's not talk about these now), which can only be switch on or off. That's why we use binary.
What is meant by self complementing binary codes?
a binary code is self complementary if complement of any code word is again a code .in self completing codes 9's complement of a number can be obtained by interchanging 0's and 1's.
What operations are not binary operations?
Any operation where the input is not two quantities. For example, Doubling a number is a unitary operation. Averaging 5 numbers is a 5-ary operation (sorry don't know what its called).
What is meant by scalar quantity?
A scalar quantity is something that has magnitude but no directional component. Examples of scalar quantities include time, mass, energy, speed, temperature, and volume.
What are digital quantities?
Digital quantities are represented by binary numbers (ONES and ZEROS). The binary ONES and ZEROS make up a word or number that indicate a value. Each bit position represents a portion of the overall quantity.
What is meant by right skewed binary tree?
a binary tree with right sub trees only
What is meant by left skewed binary tree?
a binary tree with only left sub trees is called as left skewed binary tree
What is meant by the expression traversing by a binary tree?
you do anything with binary element that is traversing. insertion,deletion, accesing anything.............
What is meant by binary tree?
there is no shortcut for this anwer so in the related links box below I posted the wikipedia binary tree article. Check it out.
What is meant by a ratio of 1 to 1?
It refers to two things in equal quantities.
When does binary envole in Pokemon Pearl?
Buneary you meant? You need to make it have high happiness.
What is decimal equivalent of the binary 01010101?
That initial zero at the far left is unnecessary and it doesn't meant anything, but without it your binary would be 1010101 and your decimal would be 85.
Are the sandal wood trees endangered?
Sandal wood trees are not endangered at the moment. They are found in less quantities. They are usually valued for their price and smell.
What are the two consecutive integers of 224?
There are no consecutive integers that add or multiply to 224. If you meant some other binary operation, you should specify what you meant.
How does a comparator work?
magnitude comparator is a logic circuit used to compare the two binary numbers in order to determine the relationship between those quantities.
Is there any link to binary arithmetic in the Koran?
It is postulated, apparently. The link will take you deeper than you meant to go.
