  2. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    To convert a hexadecimal number into its binary equivalent, simply substitute the corresponding binary digits: 3A 16 = 0011 1010 2 E7 16 = 1110 0111 2. To convert a binary number into its hexadecimal equivalent, divide it into groups of four bits. If the number of bits isn't a multiple of four, simply insert extra 0 bits at the left (called ...

  3. Single-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-precision_floating...

    The true significand of normal numbers includes 23 fraction bits to the right of the binary point and an implicit leading bit (to the left of the binary point) with value 1. Subnormal numbers and zeros (which are the floating-point numbers smaller in magnitude than the least positive normal number) are represented with the biased exponent value ...

  4. Binary-to-text encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-to-text_encoding

    A binary-to-text encoding is encoding of data in plain text. More precisely, it is an encoding of binary data in a sequence of printable characters . These encodings are necessary for transmission of data when the communication channel does not allow binary data (such as email or NNTP ) or is not 8-bit clean .

  5. Gray code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_code

    One way to increment a Gray code number is to convert it into ordinary binary code, [55] add one to it with a standard binary adder, and then convert the result back to Gray code. [56] Other methods of counting in Gray code are discussed in a report by Robert W. Doran , including taking the output from the first latches of the master-slave flip ...

  6. Double-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating...

    If a decimal string with at most 15 significant digits is converted to the IEEE 754 double-precision format, giving a normal number, and then converted back to a decimal string with the same number of digits, the final result should match the original string.

  7. Integer literal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_literal

    In computer science, an integer literal is a kind of literal for an integer whose value is directly represented in source code.For example, in the assignment statement x = 1, the string 1 is an integer literal indicating the value 1, while in the statement x = 0x10 the string 0x10 is an integer literal indicating the value 16, which is represented by 10 in hexadecimal (indicated by the 0x prefix).

  8. List of binary codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_binary_codes

    This is a list of some binary codes that are (or have been) used to represent text as a sequence of binary digits "0" and "1". Fixed-width binary codes use a set number of bits to represent each character in the text, while in variable-width binary codes, the number of bits may vary from character to character.

  9. Binary code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_code

    The modern binary number system, the basis for binary code, is an invention by Gottfried Leibniz in 1689 and appears in his article Explication de l'Arithmétique Binaire (English: Explanation of the Binary Arithmetic) which uses only the characters 1 and 0, and some remarks on its usefulness. Leibniz's system uses 0 and 1, like the modern ...
