What is meant by excess 3 code in computer science?

Excess 3 code in computer, is defined as a number code in which the decimal digit 'n' is represented by the four bit binary equivalent of n + 3. Symbolically can be represented as XS-3 code.


What can binary do?

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.

What is bitwise product?

The bitwise product, often referred to as the bitwise AND operation, is a binary operation that takes two binary numbers and compares their bits. For each pair of corresponding bits, the result is 1 if both bits are 1, and 0 otherwise. For example, the bitwise product of the binary numbers 1101 (13 in decimal) and 1011 (11 in decimal) would be 1001 (9 in decimal). This operation is commonly used in computer science for tasks such as masking and setting specific bits.
