Binary numbers as a coding system date from ancient times, notably the hexagrams of the I Ching (800 AD China), and the even earlier binary poetic meter of Pingala in India (5th century BC).
Francis Bacon first discussed the replacement of letters with binary code (a precursor of the hexadecimal system) in 1605.
However, the extension of binary code to computer operations was not developed until a thesis by Claude Shannon in 1937, which was a major milestone in modern information theory.

What does bianry code and programming have in common?
Computers read binary code. Binary code is made up of 1's and 0's. Programming sometimes uses Binary Code, sometimes not. That's what they have in common.
What is the purpose of binary codes?
A Binary code is a way of representing text or computer processor instructions by the use of the binary number system's two-binary digits 0 and 1.So the purpose of binary code is to issue human readable code, changed to machine code (binary) that the computer understands and can execute the instructions.
What is the hexadecimal code?
This is a code that computer programmers use to better communicate with computers. Because computers operate on a binary code system that is difficult for humans to understand, a code that made communicating with computers easier.
When was the binary code first used?
world war 1 and to and things that use electricity like computers. If you take a game apart it will be just 1010101
What is Binary Encoder?
A binary encoder is a person who creates a code used to program computers at the most basic level. Claude Shanna developed binary encoding in the 1930s.
How can a Canadian computer talk with a Chinese computer?
Computers transmit information in binary code (also called "Machine Code") and then the computer's Operating System takes that binary code information and displays it in the language that the operator has chosen for it to be displayed it. All computers, regardless of language or country, use the same machine code.
How does 90909 relate to computers?
Binary code is 010101 and so on but never really heard of 09 being directly related to computers in general!
