  2. Bit (money) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_(money)

    In 1904, two new currency denominations were introduced: the bit and francs which were overlaid on the old cent and daler denominations. The four units were related as 5 bits = 1 cent, 100 bits = 20 cents = 1 franc, 100 cents = 5 francs = 1 daler. [4] Coins were issued each denominated in two units, bits and cents, francs and cents, or francs ...

  3. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    A binary number is a number expressed in the base -2 numeral system or binary numeral system, a method for representing numbers that uses only two symbols for the natural numbers: typically "0" (zero) and "1" (one). A binary number may also refer to a rational number that has a finite representation in the binary numeral system, that is, the ...

  4. Bit error rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_error_rate

    This pattern simultaneously stresses minimum ones density and the maximum number of consecutive zeros. The D4 frame format of 3 in 24 may cause a D4 yellow alarm for frame circuits depending on the alignment of one bits to a frame. 1:7 – Also referred to as 1 in 8. It has only a single one in an eight-bit repeating sequence.

  5. Binary data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_data

    A discrete variable that can take only one state contains zero information, and 2 is the next natural number after 1. That is why the bit, a variable with only two possible values, is a standard primary unit of information. A collection of n bits may have 2 n states: see binary number for details.

  6. Bitwise operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operation

    The operation may be used to determine whether a particular bit is set (1) or cleared (0). For example, given a bit pattern 0011 (decimal 3), to determine whether the second bit is set we use a bitwise AND with a bit pattern containing 1 only in the second bit: 0011 (decimal 3) AND 0010 (decimal 2) = 0010 (decimal 2)

  7. Birthday attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_attack

    Given a function , the goal of the attack is to find two different inputs , such that () = ().Such a pair , is called a collision. The method used to find a collision is simply to evaluate the function for different input values that may be chosen randomly or pseudorandomly until the same result is found more than once.

  8. Bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit

    The bit is the most basic unit of information in computing and digital communication. The name is a portmanteau of binary digit. [1] The bit represents a logical state with one of two possible values. These values are most commonly represented as either "1" or "0", but other representations such as true / false, yes / no, on / off, or + / − ...

  9. Bit numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_numbering

    When the bit numbering starts at zero for the least significant bit (LSb) the numbering scheme is called LSb 0. [1] This bit numbering method has the advantage that for any unsigned number the value of the number can be calculated by using exponentiation with the bit number and a base of 2. [2] The value of an unsigned binary integer is therefore.
