ABC-1039
The Atanasoff-Berry Computer was the world's first electronic digital computer. It wasbuilt by John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford Berry at Iowa State University during 1937-42. It incorporated several major innovations in computing including the use of binary arithmetic, regenerative memory, parallel processing, and separation of memory and
computing functions.
BCD is used for binary output on devices that only display decimal numbers.
Binary is a system of numbers that a computer uses to record data. It is simpler than decimal as its only characters are 0 and 1 while decimal has 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 9. A computer can more easily record "on off" or 10 than it can 2. in the same way it can more easily record 11 than 3, 100 than 4 101 than 5 110 than 6 etc. So basically, Binary is just a simpler way of recording the same numbers as decimal, and is much easier for computers to use to store data than decimal as they can just store their bytes as packets of on off on off and that converts on the screen to numbers letters and pixels. oh and your mouse is dependent on binary too.
Binary is easier for the computer to understand. It is also easier to handle and is not costly.
It is used because it is easier to convert to and from binary to hexadecimal than decimal, and it uses less characters than binary. For instance: decimal: 65535 hex: FFFF binary: 1111111111111111
Many non-integral values, such as decimal 0.2, have an infinite place-value representation in binary (.001100110011...) but have a finite place-value in binary-coded decimal (0.0010)[bcd]. Consequently a system based on binary-coded decimal representations of decimal fractions avoids errors representing and calculating such values. Rounding at a decimal digit boundary is simpler in BCD. Addition and subtraction in decimal does not require rounding.
Guessing you are referring to ABC, binary. 50 bit binary numbers If you meant instead the Harvard Mark I, decimal. 23 digit decimal numbers. Both computers were completed in 1942.
decimal computer
The same as real numbers are expressed in decimal, except only the digits 0 and 1 are used (instead of 0 to 9) and the separator between the integer and fraction part is called the binary point (instead of the decimal point). The sign if needed is the same as in decimal.
a) 6401 in Binary is 1100100000001b) 1010110 in decimal is 86
It is 127 in decimal numbers.
A remainder is the numbers after a decimal point; sometimes used as repesenting in binary to get a binary number from a decimal number.
To ensure they are read as binary numbers and not decimal numbers.
easy, 1011. in binary of course. convert 1011 binary to decimal you get 11.
1001 base 2 = 9 base 10
Decimal 2010 = Binary 11111011010.
212 (decimal) is 11010100 (binary)
