Binary code, the language of the chip
The memory cell in the example may or may not contain electrons.
There is no third possibility.
For example:
- Electrons or no electrons
- 1 or 0
- Yes or no
- High or low
- Positive or negative
- Black or white
Because there are two possibilities, we refer to it as a binary code.
Just as we write our numbers and letters, you can also write numbers and letters in binary code.
In binary code, everything consists of a sequence of ones and zeros.
Examples of binary code are:
0 in binary code is 0000 0000
1 in binary code is 0000 0001
2 in binary code is 0000 0010
a in binary code is 0110 0001;
A in binary code is 0100 0001
In the exercise below, try to enter a letter into a memory chip as a series of ones and zeros.
If you want to send secret messages in binary code, you must be able to translate them.
