damn

i hope i never even have to look at binary never mind use/leanr it

Its not that hard... Its simple places...

These are the start of the places:

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 etc, etc, etc

Then you just plug in your binary number - so if you had:

1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0

That = 65, because you have a "tally" in the 64's place, and a "tally" in the 1's place, just add them together, and there you go!

well anything a computer uses is too complicated to use

Thats the spirit.

lmao,

binary is very complex

you have to do things like binary division/multiplication

transfer to to hexidecimal,octal etc

my advice...

stay way lol

Are you sure thats right? I've always seen it the other way around, so

00001000001

would be 65

while 10000010000

would be 1040

Yea, I see now I did reverse it... but the leading 0's don't mean anything... Sorry - its been a while....

im with scott

i might wne i know everything else about everything

learn binary

i hard code with binary but not often, it is much simpler to use and assembler (c,c+,c++ for eg) and use an emulator.

pm if u have any q's

dreamer, could you clarify what you're trying to say? I'm a little confused because in your post, you say 'I'm with Scott" (scott says stay away from binary if you can), then, in the same post, you say "learn binary." Did I miss what you were trying to say?

i dont think anyone actually uses bianry for coding, it wouldnt make much sense to use binary, its so low level that its unbelievable, still its fun to play around with bianry numbers, it makes you look smart, especially if you swap ina nnd out of 4 bit and 8 bit numbers, he he

The only time I could think of using binary is when you are doing low-level hardware programming. I'm taking a class next quarter that introduces you to methods where you make your own processor, and in the class after that, you actually do make a processor. I believe you have to learn a little bit (har!) of binary logic for that. About the lowest-level software language that is used any more is assembly, I believe.

Try GameMaker. Its not programming, but its fun.
