There are just two binary digits, which are 0 and 1. "Binary digits" is often shortened down to "Bits". Putting binary digits together you can make up the codes that are used to store various characters from your keyboard.

For example the binary code for "A" is 01000001. In decimal that would be 65. For "a" the binary code 01100001, which is 97 in decimal. The letters, digits, punctuation symbols and other characters on your keyboard, as well as ones that don't appear on your keyboard, but would in other countries, all have binary codes. This is the way they are stored in your computer. It is possible to get some of these other characters by using the decimal equivalent of binary codes.

If you are using a PC, open up Notepad, which you should get through Programs and Accessories from your Start menu. On the right side of your keyboard is the numeric keypad. Make sure the num Lock light is on. Press and hold down the Alt key, which is on the left of your space bar. Keeping it held down, on the numeric keypad, not the numbers across the top of your keyboard, type 65 and then let go of Alt. You should get an A. Try it again with 97 and you will get a. Try any number between 0 and 255 and you will get various characters, including ones that are not on your own keyboard. These will include letters from other alphabets like é (130) or â (131), or symbols like the one used for temperature ° (248) and many others. apex.. chaos

What are the disadvantages of Gray code?

One disadvantage of Gray code is that it is not as intuitive for human understanding compared to binary code. Another drawback is that Gray code is not as efficient in terms of mathematical operations, such as addition and subtraction, compared to binary code. Additionally, Gray code requires more bits to represent the same range of values as binary code, which can result in increased complexity and storage requirements.

How do you convert graycode to binary?

Converting Gray Code to Binary1). Write down the number in gray code.2). The most significant bit of the binary number is the most significant bitof the gray code.3). Add (using modulo 2) the next significant bit of the binary number to thenext significant bit of the gray coded number to obtain the next binary bit.4). Repeat step 3 till all bits of the gray coded number have been added inmodulo 2. The resultant number is the binary equivalent of the gray number.Converting Binary to Gray Code1).

What makes Gray code different from Binary?

When going from one number to the next in Gray Code 1 bit only ever changes, whereas with binary more than 1 bit could change.
