<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hey there! Let&#8217;s talk about representing negative numbers in binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;re going to use a system called 2&#8217;s complement which is going to allow us to represent signed integers,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">which means there will be a positive sign or a negative sign on the integer</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and we&#8217;ll still be able to do it in pure binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So let me talk a little bit about what I mean first here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">signed and unsigned okay so if i just type the number 14 by itself that is uh that&#8217;s an unsigned</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">integer we don&#8217;t really know if it&#8217;s positive or negative like do we know that it&#8217;s negative 14 or</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">do we know that it&#8217;s positive 14 right so the sign is what lets us know if something is positive or</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">negative okay so if i if i type a number in binary let&#8217;s just do a pure binary number one two three</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">if you know how to convert binary to decimal you probably recognize right away that this is just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the number zero even if we add a couple of bits here that&#8217;s just like the number three</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and so this is the number three but so far if if you haven&#8217;t learned signed integers in twos</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">complement or in binary then you don&#8217;t really know that there&#8217;s a sign you just kind of assume</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that the number is positive by default if you&#8217;re not using twos complement and you&#8217;re just saying</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and you&#8217;re just saying like well let&#8217;s just do a bunch of binary you know digits then yeah it&#8217;s a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">safe assumption that the the sign is positive but we&#8217;ll use two&#8217;s complement which starts with the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">idea that the highest bit the leftmost bit the bit with the height you know the most power that&#8217;s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">going to turn into the sign that&#8217;s that&#8217;s going to turn into the plus or the minus so like you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the sign.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So this means that we have to decide, you know, does a zero mean positive or does it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">mean negative or what means what?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So in two&#8217;s complement, we&#8217;ll say that zero is positive and one is negative.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So you can see right here that we&#8217;re still actually representing the number three, but</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">it&#8217;s positive three for sure because this sign bit right here is zero.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s positive.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once we decide to represent two&#8217;s complement, then we can say that for sure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the other hand, if we put a one here,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">then we definitely know that this number is now negative.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, we don&#8217;t actually know that it&#8217;s a three</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">because the numbers don&#8217;t work out the same anymore</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">in two&#8217;s complement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So the positive numbers, they will mostly look the same.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The negative numbers, they&#8217;ll look a lot different,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">but they&#8217;ll still be valid in order,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you know, in terms of us being able to add them together,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">subtract them from each other and things like that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So two&#8217;s complement is pretty cool.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s do, let&#8217;s see, what else can I tell you?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oh, one thing to understand is that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One thing to understand is that in an 8-bit unsigned integer in binary, let&#8217;s say 1, 2,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, let&#8217;s say unsigned bits, maybe I&#8217;ll just put like, maybe just some</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like V for value, all the bits are values, that means the range is 0 to 255 with 256</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">total combinations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But if we want to use a signed number, then we&#8217;ll actually have the signed bit be the first bit,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and all the rest will be value bits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this case, the range kind of goes down.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because if you think about it, every single bit, you know, represents like, you know,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">it helps towards the highest possible value that you can represent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If we&#8217;re using the leftmost bit, then for an 8-bit integer, that&#8217;s 128.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">integer that&#8217;s 128 that&#8217;s a value of 128 so we lose a lot off of the maximum</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">integer that we can represent so the range here is I think it&#8217;s negative 20</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">128 to positive 127 just keep in mind you&#8217;ll have to trust me in terms of why</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">is the negative 128 bigger and the positive 127 you know smaller but that&#8217;s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">just the way it is so that means we only get these value bits here and if you if</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that um let&#8217;s see if i can do this quickly enough without screwing it up we&#8217;ll say 127 minus um</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">minus negative 128 i guess that&#8217;s 255 and then also a zero but uh in terms of positive and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">negative the way this is going to work out is the zero will probably show up twice because uh</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">255 possible combinations with seven bits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Normally you would have a range from negative, sorry, from zero to positive 255.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And in this case, we&#8217;re just, you know, losing our range, but we can represent negative numbers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anyway. Okay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So let&#8217;s talk about doing an example real fast. Let&#8217;s see.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;ve got like a little notes to tell me what I should do. Okay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s important to understand that normally when you have, let&#8217;s say, let&#8217;s say you have</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like an 8-bit number and you go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then you have 2 bits right there and so this is like, you know, positive 3.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you wanted to copy that number into more bytes, like for example, if you wanted to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">take a 2-byte integer and have it copy the value of a 1-byte integer, then it&#8217;s pretty</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">easy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">zeros to the left you&#8217;ll say one two three four five six seven eight that would work perfectly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">however if you did this with a negative number let&#8217;s say that we have a negative number</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m going to put some of the random patterns so that you don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s the three let&#8217;s see</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">one two three four five six seven eight that&#8217;s eight total so I&#8217;m going to make that a one and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">then get rid of that so we have like eight negative number if we were going to copy that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">integer then we would copy paste it to start but then you&#8217;d have to pad with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ones to the left one two three four five six seven eight same negative number</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">more bits so be very careful about how you pad if you&#8217;re padding an unsigned</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">integer then yeah you&#8217;ll always pad zeros to the left no matter what is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">happening but if you&#8217;re padding a signed integer then you have to pad differently</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">signed integer you have to pad with whatever the highest bit is so in this case the highest bit was</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">a zero so we do pad with zeros but then in this case the highest bit was a one so we have to pad</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">with ones if you don&#8217;t do that you&#8217;re going to end up with a number that doesn&#8217;t actually make</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">sense okay so now let&#8217;s work on actually converting a number to a negative number or representing a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">negative number in twos compliment okay so i&#8217;m going to write twos compliment here and then uh</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s start off with the number negative 109.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, how do we do this?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first thing is convert it to its positive form.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Take the absolute value. Okay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we&#8217;re really just, you know, take positive form here,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and that&#8217;s just going to be positive 109.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, no problem.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;ll say start with negative 109, and then we&#8217;ll take the positive form 109.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now we&#8217;ll convert it to binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, this is not a video that teaches you how to convert to binary, so I&#8217;m just going</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">to try to do this in my head real fast here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s going to be, let&#8217;s see, we got 8 bits, we&#8217;ll use just 8 bits to store the number,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and because it&#8217;s low enough and I don&#8217;t want to use that many bits, so it&#8217;s odd, so I can</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">add a 1 there, but maybe for now I should find the highest bit that is less than the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">actual number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So this is the 128 bit right here. So that&#8217;s going to be a zero. This is the 64 bits</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m going to put a one there and I&#8217;m just going to say</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mmm, maybe like</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is like maybe not the smartest way to do it. I&#8217;ll say 109 minus 64</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because I put a one there and then 45 so now this is 32 that&#8217;s less than 45. So I&#8217;ll put a one there and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then it&#8217;s going to be minus 40</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So it goes from 45 to 13.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So then that was the 32.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so 128, 64, 32, and then 16.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Is 16 less than 13?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">No, it&#8217;s not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we&#8217;ll put a zero here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then the next one is going to be just four.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Four is definitely less.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I&#8217;ll put a one bit there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then I&#8217;ll subtract four.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then one, two, four.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oh, wait a minute.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One, two, four, eight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">wait a minute one two four eight sorry that was supposed to be subtracted uh subtracting eight</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">because that was the eight bit uh then i want to get five so here is the four bit so i put a one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">there and then i&#8217;ll just put a one here because four plus five is equal to uh i&#8217;m sorry four plus</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">one is equal to five so let&#8217;s see um it is let me just double check here one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">one let me just double check my conversion real fast it&#8217;s going to be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the one bit plus two four plus eight six thirty two plus thirty two plus sixty</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">four did I get one on nine yeah okay so I guess I did it right so convert to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">binary and that&#8217;s going to be this the next thing we&#8217;ll do is we will invert the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">bits I made a little edit jump here because I inverted the bits incorrectly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">on the first try which is sad but hey it happens the next thing we&#8217;ll do is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">but hey it happens the next thing we&#8217;ll do is we&#8217;ll invert the bits so basically you know we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">take this original sequence here and i&#8217;ll just turn every single bit uh i&#8217;ll flip it i&#8217;ll flip</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ones to zeros and zeros to ones so i&#8217;m going to go one zero zero one zero zero one zero okay so now</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">we have this number invert the bits then we just have to add one so we&#8217;ll add positive one to that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that it&#8217;s just going to be a one there at the end.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But sometimes that might not be the case</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">because what if we already had a one there</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and we had to add one to that?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Well, we&#8217;d add one to the right side</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and it would turn into a zero</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then it would carry a bit to the left.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That would become a zero</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then the carry bit would show up all the way over there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I just want you to be aware of the fact that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">when you add two binary numbers together,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you have to be careful.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You have to add them the same way you would add decimal numbers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For each digit&#8217;s position,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you have to add the two numbers together and then if they overflow then you just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">kind of wrap around to the lowest number again subtracting you know the highest</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">value or sorry subtracting the base like in decimal if you add 9 and 9 the answer</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">is 18 but you&#8217;re not going to write 18 in that one position you&#8217;re going to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">subtract the base which is 10 so it&#8217;ll actually be 8 and then you&#8217;ll carry the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">plus nine is equal to eight carry the one right so we&#8217;ll do the same thing in binary we&#8217;ll say</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">if we ever get a one plus one when we&#8217;re adding the answer will be two but then we subtract the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">base which is two so the answer is actually zero carry a one bit keep that in mind i&#8217;m just gonna</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">write it all out for you so you can kind of get a little bit of practice it&#8217;s important to to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">practice this because it&#8217;s easy to get wrong i&#8217;m going to put a bunch of dashes up at the top to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and I&#8217;m going to say we&#8217;re going to add, you know, one number plus another number,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">put a little plus symbol over there just to try and make sure we do it the right way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so how do we add these?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Well, we&#8217;ll just go to the right side.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zero plus one is one, no carry bit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One plus zero is one, no carry bit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then we got a couple zeros here, no carry bit, of course.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One plus zero is one, no carry bit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then a couple zeros and then another one with no carry bit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so, you know, we could have done that pretty easily, but</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">but well now we&#8217;re getting a taste for binary addition that might be harder later.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we&#8217;ll just do that for now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And now this is the two&#8217;s complement representation of negative 109.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;ll say now we have negative 109 is equal to that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">leftmost number the most powerful sorry leftmost bit the most powerful bit is a one remember one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">always indicates negative so when you&#8217;re looking at it if your leftmost bit turns out to be a zero</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">then you probably did something wrong or you had an overflow maybe um and again if we were going</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">to try to you know send this number into a two byte number or an eight byte number or whatever</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">uh then we would just have to pad with the sign bit so one two three four five six seven eight</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">help my brain so this was this is the way it would look in a two-byte number this is the way it would</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">look in a three-byte a four-byte and five six seven how many one two three four five six seven</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">okay one more this is what it would look like as an eight-byte number or a quad word 64-bit number</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">yeah okay so now we know how to do negative 109 okay so now let&#8217;s do a number that&#8217;s a little bit</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">negative 29. So let&#8217;s say convert, or how about represent negative 29 into</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">2&#8217;s complement. Okay. So first we, you know, first get the absolute value.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So just 29. And then we have to invert the, sorry, we have to get that into binary. So</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">next convert to binary. And I&#8217;m going to start with zeros, one, two, three, four, five, six,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For this video, remember, we&#8217;re choosing to use one byte integers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But if you wanted to do a bigger one or you had to do a bigger one,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">then just, you know, keep that in mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so 128 is not smaller than 29.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">64 is not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">32 is not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">16 is, though.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I&#8217;ll put a 16 bit there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I&#8217;ll just subtract 16 from 29.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">29 minus 16.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now we&#8217;ve got 13 left.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So 64, 32, 16.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">six four thirty two sixteen eight okay so now I&#8217;m gonna put a one bit there and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m gonna subtract 8 from the remainder and then we got a five which is pretty</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">easy to do eight four and then a one so now we have well zero zero zero one one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">one zero one that&#8217;s the binary number the positive or unsigned representation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">representation. So now we&#8217;ll add one. Positive one. And let&#8217;s try to do this the right way so</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that we can practice carry bits with addition a little bit. Notice how this one is already there</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">on the right side. So it&#8217;s going to, we&#8217;re going to have at least one carry bit for sure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So then I&#8217;m going to go doop like that. And then I&#8217;m going to say that we have like, you know,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">what is the result? Put a positive sign there. And then I&#8217;m going to put a bunch of dashes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">my carry bits because I can I can forget that pretty easily. So the first thing is we add one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and one. The answer is two, but we can&#8217;t put the number two here because it&#8217;s binary. Instead we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">need to subtract the base which is two. So two minus two is equal to zero, but then we have a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">carry bit of one. So I&#8217;m going to put a one there. The first carry bit will stay as a dash for this</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">whole you know exercise because you&#8217;re not going to carry on to the first digit. So now we have</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">what would have been just zero plus zero now we have one plus zero plus zero so</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that means this is going to be one and then the carry bit is just going to be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">zero because we don&#8217;t actually carry anything so then we have zero plus one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">plus zero so that&#8217;s going to be a one and then zero carry bit and then zero</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">one zero is just going to be one and then there&#8217;s going to be no carry bit</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then zero one zero again a one no carry bit because we didn&#8217;t actually</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">zero zero zero and then I&#8217;m just gonna put zeros here okay so now we have</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">successfully added I blew it totally blew it I always forget steps don&#8217;t</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">forget the steps this is a good lesson I&#8217;m gonna leave this in the video</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">because I want you to see that everybody makes mistakes and you got to practice</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">practice practice especially before you have to actually do this in real life or</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">or something like that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next, convert to binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before you add one, I&#8217;m gonna just remove this.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oh my gosh.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next, flip the bits,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">which is gonna be 1110010.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So now we take this bit flipped number</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and we will add one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that&#8217;s gonna be zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">one, oh, it&#8217;s too easy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maybe I got excited and I thought,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">excited and I thought, oh, it&#8217;s carry bit time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But even though the last edition that I did was wrong because I forgot to carry</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the or flip the bits, you still at least saw a little bit about how to carry the bits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Right. OK, so it&#8217;s just going to be one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let me start from the right side.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One one zero zero zero one one one one one one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let me just double check here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One one one zero zero zero.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OK, so I got that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now we have.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">negative 29 in twos compliment. Again notice if we actually tried to add those numbers up to be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like an unsigned binary number they&#8217;re not really going to make sense because this is like 64 plus</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">32 plus 3. So what would that end up being? Let&#8217;s just double check here. 64 plus 32 plus 3, 99.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s not actually the number but the number is 29. So keep in mind you can&#8217;t just look at this</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">unless you&#8217;re like really, really practiced.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, and again, notice that the number is 1 at the very left,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">indicating that it&#8217;s a negative number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, let&#8217;s look at how to subtract one number from another</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">using 2&#8217;s complement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so what I want to do is I want to subtract,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">let&#8217;s say, 29 from 109.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so let&#8217;s subtract, and I&#8217;ll just say 109 minus 29.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">109 minus 29.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And how I would do that is basically I&#8217;ll start by just taking 109.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s see, convert to binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I&#8217;m just going to copy paste that number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So 109 is this and then 29, take the positive version.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is just, let&#8217;s see, before we flip the bits or anything,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">let me make sure that I grab the right one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Invert the bits, okay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So positive 29 is this number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whoops.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">is this number whoops let me put parentheses around that so it&#8217;s easy to tell and then I&#8217;ll</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">put a positive sign there like that maybe like that nope nope nope nope how about this okay</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so now we have both of these numbers in positive form so now if we added 109 plus 29 that wouldn&#8217;t</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">negative positive 29 that would be what we wanted right because really if you&#8217;re subtracting</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">i&#8217;ll say aka</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">positive 29 plus negative 29 all we really need to do is um invert the 29 and then add the result</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">to 109 so that means we&#8217;ll we&#8217;ll turn positive 29 into negative 29 using two&#8217;s complement</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">through the steps again but basically put it there but basically you know that&#8217;s negative 29</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so say positive 129 is equal to what i just put up here and then negative 29 is equal to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">maybe i should do the parentheses again for clarity uh is equal to this okay so you can tell</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that positive 29 is pretty pretty different from negative 29 but now we have</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">29 but now we have both of those numbers so let&#8217;s see 0 1 1 0 and then we&#8217;re ready to add okay all</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">we got to do is add them together next add them together maybe I should write the steps up here</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">negative 29 using twos complement and then next add them together so then I&#8217;m</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">going to copy paste the bits here and it&#8217;s going to be this plus this do a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">positive plus sign just to remind ourselves that we are actually adding</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then I&#8217;m going to put a bunch of placeholders for sign bits up at the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">top and now we&#8217;ll have a little bit more fun adding numbers together maybe I&#8217;ll</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">drag this down</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oh my god. Oh, there we go. Okay. So I&#8217;ll start with the one on the right, the position on the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">right. That&#8217;s going to be one plus one equals two, but then that&#8217;s an overflow. So I&#8217;m going to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">subtract the base. So it&#8217;s going to be zero. And then don&#8217;t forget to carry the one. Oh,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">cool. More interesting. So we have one plus zero plus one. That&#8217;s going to be another two carry</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">two carry the one so it&#8217;s going to be zero and then carry the one again so i&#8217;m going to put the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">carry bit up there and then again we have one plus one is equal to two so it&#8217;s going to be zero</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">carry the one again zero carry the one and then finally we don&#8217;t really have a carry bit</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">um so we&#8217;ll just have like a one and there&#8217;s there&#8217;s no carry so it&#8217;s going to be you know</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">carry a zero and then we add these two together so it&#8217;s going to be a zero carry the one and then</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now we have a three.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oh, that&#8217;s kind of nice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So this is an interesting edge case kind of.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One plus one plus one is three.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But if we subtract two, the base from it, you know, three minus two, it&#8217;s going to be one, not zero.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So it actually is going to be a one and then carry the one on top of that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then for here, let me space this over a little bit so that I can illustrate what&#8217;s going on a little bit better.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;re going to have one plus zero plus one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">definitely going to be zero and then carry the one but there&#8217;s no bit where that carried one can</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">can show up on right so that one overflows it falls off the edge if this was a bigger number</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">then okay we you know if we had more bits to this number then sure we would just keep carrying over</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">over to the left but remember we said before that when we have a very big number let&#8217;s see</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">bits it&#8217;s just ones all the way to the side that will actually help us make sure that if our final</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">number is actually going to end up being positive that everything kind of like dominoes like carry</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the one carry the one carry the one carry the one carry the one all the way until one of the ones</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">falls off think about it so anyway this one just is gone we don&#8217;t really care about it anymore</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the result is going to be just only eight bits because that&#8217;s the number that we started with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">bunch of zeros what is you know the final answer let&#8217;s just compute this</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">real fast to decimal so this is 128 and then 64 so it&#8217;s gonna be 64 plus not 32</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">but 16 so 64 plus 16 that&#8217;s gonna be oops 16 that&#8217;s gonna be 80 and now we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">just have to ask ourselves again as like a final step to double check yourself to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">what you&#8217;re doing and that you got it right is just punch up 109 minus 29 just to make sure</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">109 minus 29 whoops what happened here 109 minus</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">oh i think i stole my subtraction key for the annotator 109 minus 29 is 80</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so again you know if you&#8217;re if you&#8217;re trying to like you know write something down to do some</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you know taking an exam or something you definitely want to double check yourself in several ways</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As you can tell from this video alone</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I got one of these things wrong because I forgot to input the bits as a step before adding one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So you know your final step should be actually trying to add two numbers together or subtract numbers or whatever</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You&#8217;re doing to make sure that you got the binary correct</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So let&#8217;s see</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hmm</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I guess maybe your first indication that the result was going to be positive would be that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">there&#8217;s a zero there. And just, you know, as a sanity check, you look at the top and you&#8217;re like,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">well, I was going to subtract a small number from a larger number. So the result should probably be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">positive, right? Like 29 is like way lower than 109. So it should be positive, which means the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">final result should have a zero at that leftmost position. Okay, so that&#8217;s two&#8217;s compliment,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">two&#8217;s complement how to convert numbers from positive to negative in two&#8217;s complement you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">know what the sign bit means and all that stuff and how to perform subtraction via two&#8217;s complement</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">i hope you enjoyed this video thank you for watching i hope you learned a little bit of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">stuff and had a little bit of fun see you in the next video hey everybody thanks for watching this</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">video again from the bottom of my heart i really appreciate it i do hope you did learn something</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you could do me a please, a small little favor, could you please subscribe and follow this channel or these videos or whatever it is you do on the current social media website that you&#8217;re looking at right now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It would really mean the world to me and it&#8217;ll help make more videos and grow this community.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we&#8217;ll be able to do more videos, longer videos, better videos, or just I&#8217;ll be able to keep making videos in general.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So please do me a kindness and subscribe.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">in the middle of the night and I just wake up because I know somebody</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">subscribed or followed. It just wakes me up and I get filled with joy. That&#8217;s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">exactly what happens every single time. So you could do it as a nice favor to me</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">or you could you could troll me if you want to just wake me up in the middle</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">of the night just subscribe and then I&#8217;ll just wake up. I promise that&#8217;s what</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">will happen. Also if you look at the middle of the screen right now you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">should see a QR code which you can scan in order to go to the website which I</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">think is also named somewhere at the bottom of this video and it&#8217;ll take you</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">wake up for those in the middle of the night I get I wake up in a cold sweat and I&#8217;m like</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">it would really mean the world to me. I would really appreciate it. So again,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">thank you so much for watching this video and enjoy the cool music as I fade</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">into the darkness, which is coming for us all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thank you.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ready to conquer binary scientific notation? Let’s make it fun and simple! In this video, I walk you through how to represent binary numbers with fractions in scientific notation—a must-know skill for computer science, programming, and understanding IEEE 754 floating-point representation. We start with the basics of scientific notation in decimal (think 8.54 × 10⁵), then dive into binary with clear, step-by-step examples. You’ll learn how to handle large and small binary numbers, move decimal points, and use base-2 like a champ. Whether you’re a student, coder, or just curious about how computers process numbers, this video has you covered!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ll show you practical examples, like converting huge binary numbers and tiny fractions, plus tips to avoid common mistakes (like mixing decimal and binary notation). By the end, you’ll be ready to tackle binary in IEEE 754 or impress your friends with your number-crunching skills. Subscribe for more tech tutorials, and hit that bell to stay updated!

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">is being able to represent binary numbers with fractions inside your machine in a format known</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s just a crucial step before you can represent numbers inside your machine using IEEE 754.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so first off, let me just show you a little bit here about scientific notation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So you probably have seen something like this before where it&#8217;s like 8.3873,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then you&#8217;ll see like a multiplier times 10 to the fifth power, right?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I can&#8217;t really type this out very well, so maybe I could just draw it for a second, you know.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">well so maybe I could just draw it for a second you know 8.54 times 10 to the fifth power right</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m trying to convey but anyway so about scientific notation itself it&#8217;s standardized</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so that it&#8217;s easier to use and that is you know it&#8217;s just like faster for everyone to understand</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and there&#8217;s less confusion part of the standard is that you always want to have a number on the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that is between 1 and 9 inclusive. You don&#8217;t ever actually want to have a 0 there that would be bad.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You don&#8217;t want to have a 10 or anything greater that would also be bad. You just want to have</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 on the left side. And then on the fractional side,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you want to have a number that just kind of like helps you represent the entire</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">original number without losing precision. And then on the right side, you want a number,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">a number, let&#8217;s say like x to the y power, where x is the base of the number system you&#8217;re working</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">in. So this is decimal. The base for decimal is 10. So we&#8217;re going to say 10 to the something</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">power. What is the power? The power here helps you understand how big or small the number on</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the left really is. That&#8217;s kind of one of the benefits of scientific notation. It seems to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">help you understand a little bit more of how big or how small a number is rather than exactly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">than exactly down to you know the last digit what what is the number precisely so we could say for</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">now it focuses more on largeness or smallness than preciseness what number are we actually</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">representing with this in scientific notation well times 10 to the fifth power just means move the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">decimal point over a certain number of times so uh you know that&#8217;s why we have 10 to the something</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">go left or right in a base 10 number you&#8217;re looking at a different number that has a factor</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">of 10 for its strength in either direction like multiply by 10 multiply by 10 multiply by 10</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">or divide by 10 divide by 10 divide by 10 in the other direction so this means we want to move the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">decimal point five times to the right to increase the strength of the number times five so one two</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">three four five if we put the decimal number there then this is the number we were going to represent</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">number we were going to represent originally so if somebody says hey give me this number 838730</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and put it in scientific notation then you your first instinct is to say all right let&#8217;s uh type</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that number out and we&#8217;ll put like a dot zero there and it will just we&#8217;ll move the decimal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">point over until there&#8217;s only one digit um and it&#8217;s a you know somewhere between a one and a nine</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">three four five times over in order to get the decimal point there so that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">means it&#8217;s going to be this times 10 to the fifth power because we moved it over</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">five times and you can see that&#8217;s the original number that I showed you these</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">zeros at the very end they don&#8217;t actually mean anything so we can omit</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">them probably a smarter idea to omit them and that&#8217;s why we see numbers that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">way okay so keep that in mind there&#8217;s only one digit let&#8217;s maybe do like</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">practice number here I have a couple practice numbers written down already</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">let&#8217;s see so we&#8217;ll start with this number a huge gigantic number just to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">practice if we copy paste this down to the next line and then we decide all</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">right how many times do we need to move the decimal point to get the decimal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">point right there so that the two is the first number remember one to nine</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">inclusive so I&#8217;ll just I&#8217;ll use two decimal points so I can count more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">9, 10, 11, 12, 13.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that means I did 13 moves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;ll put 13 right here so I don&#8217;t forget.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Times 10 to the 13th power.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And the 13 is positive because when we&#8217;re looking at the scientifically notated format</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">of the same number, you know, 2 point something is way smaller than the original number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we want the scientifically notated format or form to get bigger in order to reach this</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">in order to reach this number so that means 10 times sorry times 10 to a positive number positive</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">means it&#8217;ll be bigger in its original form okay so now let&#8217;s do another practice number</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">let&#8217;s do a number that&#8217;s really really really small like you&#8217;re inside of inner space or</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">something so we start up with this number and we still want to have a number between</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">rewrite it here I really want to have eight point something because that&#8217;s the first number that&#8217;s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">bigger than zero that I can see so again I&#8217;m using two decimal points so that it&#8217;s easy for me to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">count I&#8217;m going to go one two three four five six seven I had to move it seven times so it&#8217;s going</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">to be negative seven is going to be the exponent so you know raised something raised to the negative</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">seven it&#8217;s still going to be 10 to the negative seven that I multiply it by so then I&#8217;ll say get</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And now this is the same number represented in scientific notation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It should have all the same digits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The decimal point basically should just be moved.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, you know, when you represent in scientific notation,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">depending on what standard you&#8217;re working with,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you might actually omit some of the numbers at the very end of the fraction here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But that&#8217;s why we say this is kind of more to impress upon you the smallness or largeness of a number</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">rather than represent the number exactly precisely.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">okay so we got that two practices in there how can we do this same exact concept in binary</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">well keep in mind in binary binary is a base two number this video is not about binary conversion</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">as a whole number or binary with fraction let&#8217;s just pretend that we already know how to do that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and we have a binary number to start off with so let me grab my example number here</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">have some kind of a binary number with a fraction, which you can do if you don&#8217;t understand how to do</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">this part yet from decimal with a fraction to binary with a fraction or back and forth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">See my other videos. For now, we&#8217;ll assume you can do this. So how can we get this in scientific</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">notation? So the first thing we have to understand is that it&#8217;s going to be, you know, some number</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">right because that was the format we used before the number should only start with a one it should</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">never even start with a zero remember in binary we can only use ones and zeros before i said here</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">let me just show you this real fast again before i said the starting number has to be one through</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">nine inclusive that was because in decimal we have zero one two three four five six seven eight nine</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">be only use you know one two three five six seven eight nine so but in binary um i&#8217;ll put like</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">a character set like the available characters we can use to represent the numbers in decimal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so in binary the care set that we can use is just you know a zero and a one only but the same rule</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the one so that means the first number always has to be one it has to be always one dot something</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">for our purposes to represent the same number in scientific notation so it&#8217;s going to be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">this and obviously that one has to be it it cannot ever be a zero so i&#8217;m going to put the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">decimal point there uh and then i&#8217;m just going to count like how much did i actually move the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen six just fifteen just fifteen not</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">sixteen so i&#8217;m going to put times something to the fifteen power and remove that other decimal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">point and then the base is two so it&#8217;s going to be two to the fifteenth power</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so now maybe i should move that up a little bit</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">gigantic number uh in scientific notation it&#8217;s going to look a little smaller but then the times</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">base to the 15th power is going to help us understand how big it is oh it&#8217;s like pretty big</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">let&#8217;s do the same thing backwards let&#8217;s say that we wanted to start off with a very very small</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">number so it&#8217;s like you know a zero point something in binary so you can imagine if this is like one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">256 that&#8217;s probably going to be a number that&#8217;s no bigger than or just like slightly bigger than</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">256 so it&#8217;s going to be like kind of a small number right well we&#8217;ll do the same thing just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">copy to another line and then make sure that the decimal point sits in a place where there&#8217;s always</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">a one at the start</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then just count the number of times you moved</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">number of times you moved the number oh I guess before we would have possibly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">deleted numbers on the right if we were gonna reduce precision in this case</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">after we count the numbers we&#8217;re gonna remove everything to the left of the one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so that the one is in the first position and I&#8217;ll just go ahead and do it okay so</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">how many times do we move it one two three four five six seven eight that&#8217;s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">eight times so I&#8217;m gonna put an eight there just to remind myself that there</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">will be an eight I&#8217;ll remove all the stuff at the beginning that doesn&#8217;t</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">all the stuff at the beginning that doesn&#8217;t matter anymore and it&#8217;s going to be times two because</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that&#8217;s our base to the eighth power but the original number is a lot smaller than the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">scientifically notated number looks so that means we have to put a negative eight because remember</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">when you say times let me just show you this on a calculator when we say let&#8217;s let&#8217;s go back to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">fifth power then you know that we&#8217;re just basically adding four zeros right so</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like we have five total zeros so we&#8217;re adding four zeros to the ten but if we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">did to the negative five power we&#8217;re gonna be like dividing it by ten a bunch</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">of times so instead of multiplying it by ten for a total of five times we&#8217;re</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">gonna divide by ten so then the number gets really really really small so that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">means when we say two to the negative eight power we&#8217;re gonna be dividing it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;re going to be dividing it by two that many times.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so we end up with a really, really, really small number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Isn&#8217;t that what I kind of said?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s see.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I mean, like, not exactly, but, you know, it&#8217;s like 0.003 and then some numbers after that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Didn&#8217;t I say one divided by 256?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s 0.003 and then some numbers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So this number is just a little bit bigger than 0.003.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nine.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s see how much bigger it is.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">bigger it is point three six two five what</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">oh because i&#8217;m not i&#8217;m not including the the part on the left that we will multiply it by so if i</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you know if i did some like binary up here and i was in binary mode then it would probably make</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">more sense it ended up being exactly the same exact number that&#8217;s why i was confused because</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">if we just type that part on the right side then it really is going to be one over 256.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anyway, long story short, we have this number here, the fractional part, and then we&#8217;re</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">going to multiply it by two to the something power.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Notice something in particular that I&#8217;m doing, which is probably my mistake, but I kind of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like doing it this way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Notice how the left part is in binary and the right part is in decimal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There&#8217;s no number two in binary or no number eight in binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">numbers like this to scientific notation so that you can convert a binary number to i triple e</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">floating point number this is as far as you really need to go but if you truly want to represent a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">binary number in scientific notation then you should also convert all of the relevant parts</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so how do we represent uh the number two in binary it&#8217;s going to be one zero how do we represent the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">number eight in binary it&#8217;s going to be one two four eight it&#8217;s going to be that so uh you know</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">big number times 10 in binary is still the number two to the something power the negative 1000 in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">binary power is going to be you know eight the negative eight power so this is great if you just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">want to write an entire number in scientific notation but uh you know in probably my next</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">video when we talk about ieee 754 notation this is as far as you really need to go</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">eight number into a a whole number in binary and then putting that somewhere but so just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">forget about this for now keep in mind this is how far you have to go if you want to go to ieee</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">if you only want to be in pure binary then this is what it would look like</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">okay that&#8217;s it uh i think that&#8217;s all the example i have for you today in this video thank you so</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">much for watching i hope you learned a little bit and had a little bit of fun see you in the next</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">video</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hey everybody!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thanks for watching this video again from the bottom of my heart.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I really appreciate it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I do hope you did learn something and have some fun.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you could do me a please, a small little favor, could you please subscribe and follow</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">this channel or these videos or whatever it is you do on the current social media website</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that you&#8217;re looking at right now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It would really mean the world to me and it&#8217;ll help make more videos and grow this community.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">better videos or just I&#8217;ll be able to keep making videos in general so please</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">do do me a kindness and and subscribe you know sometimes I&#8217;m sleeping in the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">middle of the night and I just wake up because I know somebody subscribed or</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">followed it just wakes me up and I get filled with joy that&#8217;s exactly what</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">happens every single time so you could do it as a nice favor to me or you could</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you control me if you want to just wake me up in the middle of the night just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">subscribe and then I&#8217;ll just wake up I promise that&#8217;s what will happen also if</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you look at the middle of the screen right now, you should see a QR code, which you can scan in order to go to the website, which I think is also named somewhere at the bottom of this video.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And it&#8217;ll take you to my main website where you can just kind of like see all the videos I published and the services and tutorials and things that I offer and all that good stuff.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if you have a suggestion for clarifications or errata or just future videos that you want to see, please leave a comment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">or if you just want to say hey what&#8217;s up what&#8217;s going on you know just send me a comment whatever</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">i also wake up for those in the middle of the night i get i wake up in a cold sweat and i&#8217;m like</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">it would really it really mean the world to me i would really appreciate it so again thank you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so much for watching this video and um enjoy the cool music as as i fade into the darkness</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thank you.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hello there, let&#8217;s talk about how to convert decimal numbers with fractions into binary</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">numbers with fractions and vice versa.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So up to this point, if you&#8217;ve been watching my other videos, you probably know that you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">can easily convert a decimal number to binary and binary to decimal if the decimal and binary</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">numbers but in order to progress towards IEEE 754 representation in other words</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">in order to eventually be able to represent binary numbers with fractions</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like floats or doubles in the machine you have to start learning how to get</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the fraction part of a decimal number into binary the way we&#8217;re going to do</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">it in this video it&#8217;s not actually going to be the final representation of how</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">your machine stores floating point numbers but it&#8217;s an important step on</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">on the way there. Without this step, you probably wouldn&#8217;t be able to do it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So what am I talking about? I&#8217;m just going to open up this notepad real fast and just show you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that what I really mean is, suppose we have like a number 45 point blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">right? So this is the whole part and this is the fractional part. Okay, no problem. Also in binary,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">we have like a bunch of ones and zeros. This is a whole number, but we could put a decimal point</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then just start doing more numbers after the decimal point in order to represent a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">in order to represent a fractional binary number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so let&#8217;s see.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We know, hopefully at this point, if you watch my other videos,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that, I don&#8217;t know, I&#8217;m just going to put some random numbers here</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then like some more random numbers there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And you know that the strength of each of these numbers</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">is sort of like increasing by powers of two on the left side, on the whole side.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So the strength of that first digit is one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">digit is one the next digit has a strength of two and then four and then eight and then 16 maybe i&#8217;ll</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">put the six up here and then 32 so three and two and then 64 and maybe i&#8217;ll do another digit i&#8217;ll</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">just put like a zero there and then you know the left most digit has a strength of 128 so basically</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">a 1 or a 0 for the actual binary number multiplied by its strength. So 1 times 1 is 1, add that to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0 times 2, add that to 1 times 4, and 0 times 8, and 1 times 16, and so forth, right? So hopefully</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">we know how to do that at this point. To do the same thing on the fractional side, maybe I won&#8217;t</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">put a decimal marker there, it&#8217;s really the same deal except as we go left, we were multiplying by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">have more power more strength but as we go to the right past the decimal point they should have less</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">strength and we&#8217;ll just divide them by two so pretty much at this point let&#8217;s see we&#8217;ll have</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">one half will be the strength of this digit right here whoops one half so the strength that that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">digit has is just one half the strength that the next digit has is going to be one fourth remember</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">1 4th remember you multiply sorry you divide by 2 each time whoops I&#8217;m getting lost oh man I</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">probably need to add some spaces because it&#8217;s starting to get pretty ugly so this digit has</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">a strength of 1 half this digit has a strength of 1 4th and then we&#8217;ll just say that the next one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">has a strength of 1 8th and so forth we&#8217;ll just keep dividing by 2 each time so don&#8217;t forget that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">don&#8217;t make the mistake of saying 1 4th or sorry don&#8217;t make the mistake of saying 1 half 1 3rd</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">one half, one third, one fourth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don&#8217;t increase the denominator by one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You want to multiply, or sorry,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you want to divide by two each time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Or if you want to say the word multiplication,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">then you multiply by 0.5, I guess, if you want to.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m just going to write 1 16th</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then just be done with the divisions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I hope you understand what I&#8217;m talking about.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;re going to do some examples right now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so let&#8217;s calculate.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Well, actually, let&#8217;s just, just to emphasize, just to make sure everybody understands, what</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">we would do to convert such a number from binary to decimal would basically be, you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">know, compute the left side as if it were a whole number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m going to put W for whole number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then separately convert the fractional part as if it were just, you know, zero point</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">something.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then just combine the two things when you&#8217;re in decimal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And you&#8217;ll do the same thing when converting a number from decimal to binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">decimal to binary you convert the whole part first put that into ones and zeros then convert the fact</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the fractional part into a fractional binary part and then just combine them across the decimal point</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so let&#8217;s do an example let&#8217;s start with converting 0.126753 i don&#8217;t think that this number is going</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">to resolve easily it&#8217;s kind of like a good lesson here when you&#8217;re converting between binary and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">there are always going to be some numbers in in in decimal that you can&#8217;t represent in binary</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and vice versa there are always going to be some numbers in binary that you can&#8217;t represent in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">decimal so it&#8217;s not that decimal or binary or you know superior or inferior i mean all technology</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">is pretty much running on binary so it can&#8217;t be that bad but um just keep that in mind some numbers</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that you type randomly are just never going to resolve and you&#8217;ll have to give up at some point</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">have to give up at some point and say, well, we&#8217;re just going to call this a precision loss</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">because we just, we just have to like give up, especially if you only have so many bits</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">to put the fraction in. Okay. So what am I going to do? What&#8217;s the, what&#8217;s the basic algorithm</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">here? There are lots of different ways to do it. The way that I&#8217;m going to show you is just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">multiplying by two. So if we take, you know, 0.126753 and we multiply it by two,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We end up with, let&#8217;s see, times 2.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whoops, hello.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oh, I got to do that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Times 2.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;re going to end up with a different number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If the number is equal to or greater than 1,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">then we will say that we have achieved a number of 1 for the converted binary number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if not, we&#8217;ll say we have achieved a number of 0.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If the number is 1, we&#8217;ll also subtract 1 from the remaining number here in decimal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The result we have is just, what&#8217;s going on?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oh, I somehow turned on my annotator.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this case, we just have, you know, this number right here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s not greater than one or equal to one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I&#8217;m just going to say this gave us a binary number of zero.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And because it gave us a zero, we&#8217;re not actually going to change it at all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;re not going to subtract one from it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;re just going to leave it as is.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We will then multiply by two again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">by 2 again. So I&#8217;m just going to say, do it one more time. We&#8217;ll say this multiplied by 2,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and it&#8217;s going to be this number. Again, it did not exceed or equal 1, so the bit in that position</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">is going to be a 0, and we&#8217;ll just copy and carry it over just as is. Do it again, and we&#8217;ll say</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now we have a number that equals or exceeds one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we&#8217;ve achieved a one in the binary position.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So it&#8217;s going to be a one here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then we got to subtract one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we&#8217;re just going to be left with 0.014, 024 and whatever.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then we just continue.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maybe I&#8217;ll do it a couple more times,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">but I&#8217;m going to give up because I don&#8217;t think</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that this number will translate completely.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I&#8217;m going to say multiply by two again,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and it&#8217;s going to give us,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">hang on a second here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What was that?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hang on a second here. What was that? That was one. Oh, I forgot to subtract one. So I got to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">subtract one. And then I&#8217;m going to multiply by two. Now we get this number right there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is not equal to or greater than one. So the bit is going to be zero.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then that means the remaining number is just going to be the same thing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;ll do another. Actually, let me let me clean the calculator for a second here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">going to select this whole thing and just paste that and I&#8217;m going to say</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">multiplied by two that&#8217;s going to be that new number and I think you&#8217;re</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">starting to understand why I want to give up because we&#8217;ll just be kind of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">doing this forever this might end up being an irrational number in binary I</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">don&#8217;t really know I haven&#8217;t gone that far but it&#8217;s definitely gonna take a long</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">time so I&#8217;m gonna give up and I&#8217;m just gonna say all right the final binary</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">number is gonna be 0.00100 and then just say maybe there&#8217;s some more stuff at</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">maybe there&#8217;s some more stuff at the end we&#8217;ll just call this a precision loss</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you can see well maybe I should do one more number actually because it it&#8217;s kind of a mirror there&#8217;s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like two zeros and then a one and then two zeros on the other side let me multiply this by two</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">real fast just to show you without symmetry what would happen so I&#8217;m gonna multiply that by two</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and it&#8217;s gonna be this number right here so that&#8217;s gonna be zero because it didn&#8217;t exceed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">or meet one and so the number we have left over is just that okay so now</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">because there&#8217;s no symmetry you can see that the number is going to be point</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">zero zero one zero zero zero we go from top to bottom we don&#8217;t do any kind of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">reversal like you might do with whole number binary conversion I don&#8217;t know</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">maybe it&#8217;ll be zero for a long long long long time and never or yeah they&#8217;ll</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">probably be some ones in there at least I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s ever going to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">resolve you&#8217;ll know you&#8217;re finished when the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here is a zero.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So again, I&#8217;m just going to give up on this because I don&#8217;t really know if it&#8217;s going to work.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s do a number that I know is going to resolve.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I have this one prepared in advance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So let&#8217;s do 0.84375.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So how do we convert this?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Again, just multiply by two.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every single time you meet or exceed one, then you&#8217;ll say that we have a one in the binary number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">binary number and then subtract one after that and if not we will say that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">we have a zero in the binary position and then we won&#8217;t subtract one okay so</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that number multiplied by two is going to be point one six eight seven five so</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that&#8217;s definitely greater than or equal to one so I&#8217;m going to say we have a one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">in the binary position and then the next number is going to be just be zero point</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">now we take that number 6875 you could also just you know in your calculator you could say minus</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">one and then we&#8217;ll multiply it by two to get the next bit the number is going to be 1.375 so i&#8217;m</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">going to write 1.375 here and then it&#8217;s greater than or equal to one so it&#8217;s going to be another</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">one here and then after we subtract one it&#8217;s going to be 375 no problem okay so let me just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then multiply by 2 to get to the next bit position.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s going to be 0.75.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All right, so 0.75, that number is less than 1, so we have a 0 in that bit position.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also don&#8217;t subtract anything because we had a 0 in that bit position.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then we just multiply by 2 again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Multiply by 2, now we have 1.5 because that&#8217;s greater than or equal to 1.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We have a 1 in that bit&#8217;s position, then we subtract 1.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">one it&#8217;s just going to be 0.5 that should be pretty easy right because that&#8217;s that sounds</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like there&#8217;s a one in a bit and then it&#8217;s just done after that so i&#8217;m going to do minus one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then multiply by two again notice how that is exactly a one so it&#8217;s going to be 1.0</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">which means we have a one in the position because it is equal to or greater than one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then uh well what we have left over is zero</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zero multiplied by two is going to be zero.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that means if we kept doing this forever,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">then all the numbers down here are just going to be zeros forever.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I said in another video,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">when you realize what&#8217;s going on with the zeros,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like where are they?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are they on the left or the right?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you&#8217;re converting a whole number from binary to decimal or decimal to binary,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the zeros would be on the left side.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that&#8217;s why we would reverse</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">because if you just add infinity zeros on the left of a whole number,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you&#8217;re not changing the value.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">number you&#8217;re not changing the value but if you added them to the right you&#8217;d be increasing the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">value when it comes to the fractions the right side of the fraction won&#8217;t change the number for</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">example if we had you know one point and then some like random binary numbers if we just kept adding</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">zeros on the right side that&#8217;s not changing the value of the number because this is the fractional</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">part however if we started adding numbers on the left side then we would make the fractional part</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">smaller and smaller and smaller so that means the zeros have to be on the right side and you can see</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and you can see here the right side is the bottom so that means we&#8217;re going to take these numbers</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;ll just put etc here just so you can see etc that means we&#8217;re going from top to bottom so the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">final number is 0.11011 and then a bunch of zeros after that are just you know nothing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and that&#8217;s the final answer we now have 0.84375 is equal to binary that number and we&#8217;ll just say</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that number and we&#8217;ll just say OB to to indicate that the following is a binary</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">number because again you could have a decimal number and then have like a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">bunch of like ones and zeros in the fraction part I guess so to make sure</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that the reader understands what they&#8217;re seeing you&#8217;ll say OB to indicate this is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">a binary number on exams or quizzes if you&#8217;re out there doing this for an exam</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">or a quiz keep in mind you probably want to talk to professor to make sure that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ob is supposed to be part of your answer they might just want this it depends anyway so 0.11011</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">okay then let&#8217;s convert it back again let&#8217;s let&#8217;s convert this number to the original decimal number</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">there okay so how can we do that pretty much just start adding the fractions up so remember the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Remember, the first fraction that we see is going to be one half.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One half.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And the second fraction we see is going to be one fourth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then we just keep multiplying.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One fourth, one half.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maybe I should write this in a notepad here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;ll see one half plus one fourth plus one eighth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And some of these bits aren&#8217;t going to count.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like, for instance, the one eighth, it&#8217;s not going to count towards the fraction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But for me personally, if I forget to type one eighth,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m probably going to accidentally use it for the next position.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I&#8217;m just going to type everything one at a time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So let&#8217;s see, we have one, two, three, four, five, one, two, three, four.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I got to do one more plus one 32nd and then multiply by the bits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So say like, you know, one times that and then one times that and then zero times that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">to basically, you know, cancel it out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then one times that and then one times that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">plug it all into the calculator</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">let&#8217;s see if I got that right</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0.84375</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so that&#8217;s how you convert</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">back from binary to decimal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">pretty easy and then also</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">of course when you&#8217;re practicing this you want to try</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">with a bunch of different random numbers to start off with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you just want to be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">careful again this process</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">could take forever if you have like</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you know the wrong number that you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">start with but I guess at least</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">at least when we&#8217;re converting from binary to decimal it&#8217;s going to end up resolving to something</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">uh it won&#8217;t necessarily be something that you can&#8217;t represent but you know if you start</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">up with a random number in decimal there&#8217;s a chance maybe it&#8217;s not going to work with binary</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">okay well you have to give up and call it a precision loss okay so then now let&#8217;s uh let&#8217;s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ask what if we had a complex number because we know how to do this now with just the fractional</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">now with just the fractional part but what if we had a number that was um a little bit more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">difficult let&#8217;s say we have wait a minute you know for you know for 37 5.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">oh i think i just accidentally did a totally different number than i wanted to on my plan</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">luckily i got the right answer okay</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anyway, what if we had a more complicated number?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s see, 804, 6875.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so 804, 6875, but with a 45 in front of that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Remember we said before that this is the whole part</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and this is the fractional part,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and you just wanna do them separately</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then combine them afterwards.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So the whole part, let&#8217;s see, what is that gonna be?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m just gonna say that this is not a video</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">for whole number binary conversion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is just dealing with fractions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">just dealing with fractions. Find my other videos if you want to know how to convert the whole part,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">but I&#8217;m going to say that 45 is just this number in binary. And you can double check real fast.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can say 1 plus, here let&#8217;s do it again, let&#8217;s do it just to be sure. 1 plus not a 2 because</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">there&#8217;s a 0 there, and then we&#8217;ll say 4 plus 8 plus not a 16 because there&#8217;s a 0 there, and then</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">plus 32. Add that together, that&#8217;s 45. So the whole number part is pretty easy if you already know how</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">number part is pretty easy if you already know how binary conversion but now let&#8217;s convert point uh</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">zero eight zero point eight zero four whoops screenshot no thank you zero point eight oh four</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">six eight seven five so i&#8217;m gonna have to do this from scratch since this is a different number than</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">i just worked with we&#8217;ll do that multiplied by two and it&#8217;s going to be this number</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">is that really not the same number?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yeah, I guess I really just did a different number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so that means we&#8217;re going to have a 1 in the binary position</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and the remaining fractional part is just going to be this.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whoops, zero point that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So then we take that number and bring it down.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Multiply it by 2.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whoops, not supposed to actually bring that part down.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;ll bring it into the calculator.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;ll multiply it by 2.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">actually let me get that again and subtract one just to double check myself it&#8217;s always good to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">double check yourself then we&#8217;ll multiply this by two and then the number is going to be point</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">1.28 so we have that and then since it&#8217;s either equal to or greater than one it&#8217;s going to be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you know a one in the binary position so 0.21875 is going to be the remainder there</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so I&#8217;m going to do minus 1 and then times 2 to make sure the calculator agrees with me whoops</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">21875 okay then I&#8217;ll do a multiply by 2 to get the next number 4 3 7 5</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and that&#8217;s not equal to or greater than 1 so we&#8217;ll put a 0 there and we won&#8217;t subtract anything</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so it&#8217;s just going to be 0.4375 again then we&#8217;ll multiply that by 2 to get the next number</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">times two it&#8217;s going to be 0.875 so 0.875 again this is not one or greater so we have zero in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the binary position and we don&#8217;t subtract anything 0.875 multiply by two again times two so it&#8217;s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">going to be 1.75 1.75 and then of course we&#8217;ll have a one in the binary position and the leftover</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0.75 so let me just go back to the calculator and I&#8217;ll say minus 1 times 2 it&#8217;ll give us 1.5</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so 1.5 over here means we&#8217;ll have a 1 in the binary position because it was equal to or greater</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">than 1 the leftover is going to be 0.5 now you know we&#8217;re about to finish because 0.5 times 2</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">is just going to be 1.0 which will give us a 1 for the binary part and then the remainder is going</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">remainder is going to be 0.0 and then you know there&#8217;s no need to multiply 0 by 2 because it is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">forever going to just be zeros uh maybe i&#8217;ll just write it out one more time just so you know 000</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">right remember that so that means of course the zeros are on the right side of the fractional</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">part and on the left side is going to be 0.110011</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">1100111 and then now we just have to combine those two numbers so maybe just I&#8217;ll put something</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">here indicating that this is the conversion of just that number like that now we&#8217;ll combine</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">both of those parts right so 45 was this so I&#8217;ll say maybe therefore this big number right here</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">combine this number for 45 and then I&#8217;ll just put a decimal point and then I&#8217;ll put the fractional</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">part on the right side and then let me just double check my work real fast it should be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">10110111 wait wait what no no 101101 and then 1100111 okay so that&#8217;s it we&#8217;ve converted</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">converted a complicated decimal number into binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And we can do it in the reverse, just using the same thing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You know, step one, convert this number into a whole number of decimal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then step two, convert this number into a whole number,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">sorry, a just only fractional number for decimal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">by just getting the one half plus one fourth and so forth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">put them around a decimal point just for practice okay I&#8217;ll go ahead and do it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">some of you are probably like why won&#8217;t you do it I&#8217;ll do it okay so just only</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">looking at the fractional part because that this is not a video to convert</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">whole numbers in binary and decimal but just to convert the fractional part only</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m gonna do let&#8217;s see say whoops whoops whoops whoops whoops whoops maybe I need</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so starting with just this one right here,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">it&#8217;s going to be 1 half plus 1 fourth plus not 1 eighth, not 1 16th, a 32.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">1 32 plus 1 over 64 plus 1 over 128.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0.8046875.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So it looks like we succeeded.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so now we know how to convert</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">a decimal number with a fraction</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">into a binary number with a fraction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And we also know how to convert</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">a binary number with a fraction</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">to a decimal number with a fraction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That feels like a long video.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s see what it is after I cut this.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thank you so much for watching.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I hope you learned a little bit of stuff</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and you had a little bit of fun.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I will see you in the next video.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">grow this community so we&#8217;ll be able to do more videos, longer videos, better videos,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">or just I&#8217;ll be able to keep making videos in general. So please do me a kindness and subscribe.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You know, sometimes I&#8217;m sleeping in the middle of the night and I just wake up because I know</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">somebody subscribed or followed. It just wakes me up and I get filled with joy. That&#8217;s exactly what</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">happens every single time. So you could do it as a nice favor to me or you could troll me if you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">want to just wake me up in the middle of the night, just subscribe and then I&#8217;ll just wake up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I promise that&#8217;s what will happen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also, if you look at the middle of the screen right now, you should see a QR code which you can scan in order to go to the website,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">which I think is also named somewhere at the bottom of this video.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And it&#8217;ll take you to my main website where you can just kind of like see all the videos I published and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the services and tutorials and things that I offer and all that good stuff.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if you have a suggestion for</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">or just future videos that you want to see, please leave a comment. Or if you just want to say,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">hey, what&#8217;s up? What&#8217;s going on? You know, just send me a comment, whatever. I also wake up for</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">those in the middle of the night. I get, I wake up in a cold sweat and I&#8217;m like,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">it would really, it really mean the world to me. I would really appreciate it. So again,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">thank you so much for watching this video and enjoy the cool music as, as I fade into the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">darkness, which is coming for us all.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hi there! Let&#8217;s talk about converting back and forth between binary and hexadecimal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Why would you want to do that? Well, maybe you&#8217;re in computer science. Maybe you&#8217;ve been presented</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">with some numbers that you need to convert. Maybe you have like a bunch of ones and zeros.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maybe you have like an ox and then something that looks really weird. It&#8217;s got some letters in it,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">but it&#8217;s also got some numbers. And you&#8217;re trying to figure out what are these? What are we trying</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">we try to convert back and forth between.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You should have watched my other videos by now,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">which will teach you how to convert back and forth</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">between both of these number bases and decimal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So you can understand what they are</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">in just normal human terms.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But as a quick recap, decimal is a base 10 number system</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">because we have 10 possible characters that we can use.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We can say zero, one, two, three, four,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">five, six, seven, eight, nine.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that&#8217;s 10 total characters, zero through nine.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also have binary, which is what computers use, which is a base two system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s base two because the only characters you have available are just zero and one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So base two, two characters.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can represent a number between zero and one in a single digit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then we have hexadecimal, which is a way to represent a number in a more compact way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">system there because we have 16 possible characters we have 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">just like decimal but then we add more numbers we had like six numbers we say</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">a b c d e f and what happens is the a has a strength of 10 whereas the you know</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the 9 just to its left had a strength of 9 the a has a strength of 10 the b has a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">of 11 the c has a strength of 12 and the d has a strength of 13 and the e has a strength of 14</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and the f has a strength of 15 and so you know we just have more characters that we can use in one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">single digit which means we can rent we can represent the same number in decimal but just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">we can represent it smaller if we use hexadecimal so it&#8217;s kind of useful when you&#8217;re working with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">looking at bits in binary or hex and not necessarily decimal because binary as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you&#8217;re going to learn in this video gives you kind of a good idea just by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">looking at it after you&#8217;ve practiced a little while gives you a good idea of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">what hex numbers you would be seeing if you were looking at the same number and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">vice versa if you&#8217;re looking at hex numbers if you look at them a lot in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">your daily life you&#8217;ll start to kind of like see through the matrix and you&#8217;ll</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if you&#8217;re interested in finding what bits are on and off,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">it&#8217;s convenient to be able to look at a hexadecimal number</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and kind of intuitively know,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">okay, those bits are probably like on and off.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Those bits are all on, you know, whatever.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So this is the basics of number basis.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here&#8217;s a trick.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In all my other videos,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">when we converted back and forth</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">between decimal and binary and hex and all that stuff,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">we used multiplication, we used division,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you know, we messed with the numbers quite a bit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the great thing about binary and hex conversions is you don&#8217;t even really need to do math.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maybe a little math at first while you&#8217;re learning, but eventually when you get used to it,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you start to realize you can memorize short patterns. Let me bring your attention to the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">fact that in hexadecimal, you have 16 possible combinations, or you can represent a number</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you can do the same thing in four characters if I had four characters right</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">here in binary very quickly you could do the calculation in your head if you&#8217;ve</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">watched my other videos you can see well that one counts for a one and this one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">counts for a two and this one counts for a four and this one counts for an eight</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">if I want to know what the maximum value is that I could represent with four</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">digits I just take the the top numbers strength multiply it by two and then</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">strength multiply it by 2 and then subtract 1. So if we have 1, 2, 4, 8, I&#8217;ll just multiply 8 by 2,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that&#8217;s 16, and then subtract 1, that&#8217;s 15. So I can represent a number between 0 and 15 with 4</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">binary digits. But I just said you could do that with one hexadecimal digit, right?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that means one hexadecimal digit is actually four binary digits. And if you just memorize</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">16 combinations of numbers, which is not like that hard.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And even if you don&#8217;t memorize them all,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I don&#8217;t have them all memorized.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s really easy to convert in your head</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">a four digit binary number to decimal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then convert that back to hexadecimal pretty fast,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">hexadecimal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So what&#8217;s the equivalent of 1111?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Well, we know it&#8217;s the highest possible value</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">with just one hexadecimal digit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that would have to be an F.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So you can memorize already</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can memorize already a couple of really, really easy combinations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We could say, let me say zero binary, OB to say that we&#8217;re looking at binary is equal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">to zero X F. So just the letter F in hex.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Remember that we like to prefix different base number systems to give the reader a reminder</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">of what base they&#8217;re looking at.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">one i&#8217;m going to say that 000 in binary is just zero in hex if i didn&#8217;t put that prefix how would</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you know if you&#8217;re looking at hex or binary or decimal it would be even more confusing if you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">had like you know one two zero is that hex one two zero or is that uh decimal one two zero i guess it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">can&#8217;t be binary one two zero but if we did one one zero now it could be binary or hex or decimal so</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">i&#8217;m just going to put uh zero b for binary and i&#8217;m going to say it&#8217;s zero so that&#8217;s two of the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">of the 16 total possible combinations that we would memorize.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So let&#8217;s iterate through all the combinations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just for the sake of making this table more compact,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">actually, let me start a new little notepad page here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m going to omit those prefixes because those are a good idea,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">but while we&#8217;re doing our lookups, they&#8217;re a little irritating.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I&#8217;m going to take them out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I&#8217;m going to say 0001.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let me say this.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I&#8217;m just going to count from 0 to 15 in binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">to 15 in binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So this is going to be one, one,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then zero and then zero, one, zero, one, zero, one,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I don&#8217;t know, that&#8217;s a lot of copy pasting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let me just double check here that I&#8217;m doing this right.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I should have 16 lines.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I don&#8217;t, so I&#8217;ve done something wrong.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s see.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So this is like 0, 1, 2, 3, and this is 4.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is 5, and then 6, and then 7, and this is 8.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oh, I have that twice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, 8.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then since I copy pasted the bottom part,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think I can probably assume that&#8217;s okay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That was kind of spooky.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I guess a lesson learned is that relying on a battery pack</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">or a light that&#8217;s gonna stay on for many hours</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">is probably a dumb idea.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anyway, continuing, we have this table here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We have like 16 possible combinations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So now I&#8217;m gonna map these to hexadecimal digits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">uh you know like 10 are going to be really easy right it&#8217;s just going to be zero and then one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then two you can make a vertical table if you want for yourself I&#8217;m just doing it this way</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">because it&#8217;s easier the way that I&#8217;m typing in this notepad the way that I&#8217;m typing in this</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">notepad so I&#8217;m going to do seven eight nine and then when we get to 10 let me just double check</p>



<ol start="10" class="wp-block-list">
<li>So this is eight plus two. So that means this is indeed a 10 and oh, 10 in hex, not a decimal.</li>
</ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that&#8217;s a and then B and then C and then D and then E and then F. Okay. So now that we have this</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">little table set up, you know, if you want to write it horizontally, that&#8217;s fine. It&#8217;s actually</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">binary and hex now imagine we have a gigantic hex number zero x and then i&#8217;m just going to do like a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">bunch of numbers and then i&#8217;m going to do change some of these to like letters just to make things</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">more interesting a b c d e did i use any d e f e b i didn&#8217;t use a b oh there we go and i&#8217;ll put like</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">another aid in there okay so this is huge and this would take like a while to calculate right</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">to calculate right if you were going to convert it to decimal for hex to binary conversion it&#8217;s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">actually pretty easy you literally just go b what is b b is that so b is just that you don&#8217;t even</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">have to do any math let me copy paste this down here so i can show you a really easy way to do</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">D is this right here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I&#8217;m going to say the D is that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then the 6 is that pattern right there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So move you over.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maybe that&#8217;ll line up later, hopefully.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So the 1 is pretty easy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Probably didn&#8217;t even need to copy-paste that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I could have just looked at it and typed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">looked at it and typed the E is going to be that and the seven is going to be that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and the two is going to be this eight see what I&#8217;m doing I&#8217;m literally just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">copy pasting the bit patterns if you don&#8217;t have copy paste when you&#8217;re doing your conversion</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that&#8217;s okay you can at least write down zeros and ones really fast if it&#8217;s just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you know four at a time I should also point out that um you know this is pretty important to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">good term that people like to use. Four bytes or one hexadecimal digit, it&#8217;s called a nibble.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So usually you&#8217;re used to seeing eight bytes in a row and you call that, sorry,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">usually you&#8217;re used to seeing eight bits in a row and you call that a byte or two hex digits in a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">row and you call that a byte. If you just see four bits or one hex digit, that&#8217;s a nibble.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Two nibbles make a byte. Try to remember that. So we have this giant thing here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">we have literally now successfully converted binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m going to put, I&#8217;m just going to put OB here</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then remove all the spaces.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the binary number that we originally had</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">in hexadecimal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So again, just to emphasize, these are the two same numbers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They&#8217;re just represented differently.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Differently.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let me punch this into my personal calculator</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">to make sure that I gave you the right walkthrough</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so I don&#8217;t have to correct in a video later.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so expression X result binary oh god I can&#8217;t even I can&#8217;t even read that okay</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so let me let me do it backwards I&#8217;m gonna copy paste this one in there okay</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">so let&#8217;s see X okay so it&#8217;s telling me that supposed to get to B and then a D6</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">728fac. Okay, so I did it. And this is also a good reminder that you kind of want to pair off</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">into groups of one byte at least. So, you know, each two characters, that&#8217;s one byte. One character</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">by itself is a nibble. So you want to pair off into bytes. And notice how this b is all by itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So you want to pad to the left with a zero so that you&#8217;re just kind of working with bytes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s easier on the eyes and the brain. And you&#8217;ll usually see something like this</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">output from a program or something. In fact, you might see something like this representing,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">here&#8217;s a word, or you might see something like this showing that this is like a D word or,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you know, like a 32 bit number. And if we wanted to say, oh, this is a 64 bit system. So let&#8217;s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">look at 64 bits. Let&#8217;s look at eight bytes. Then we&#8217;ll just like pad it with, let&#8217;s see, one, two,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that&#8217;s one, two, three, we&#8217;ll pad it with a bunch more zeros. One, two, three, four, five, six,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So this is a proper 64-bit number or an 8-byte number that works with modern systems,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">whether you have the space in there or not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so I&#8217;m not going to do another example from hex to binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s do a quick example from binary to hex.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It should be just as easy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I&#8217;m going to start a new tab here and just copy-paste the table that I made.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s make a bunch of random numbers for binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And so now we&#8217;ve got like a bunch of numbers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All we have to do is I&#8217;m going to copy paste this so I don&#8217;t ruin the original thing that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I wrote down.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I&#8217;m just going to break it up into groups of four, starting from the least powerful</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">digits, you know, like all the way on the right.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I&#8217;m going to go doop, doop.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So after breaking it into groups of four, you can see that the, you know, the most powerful</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">digit there is a one all by its lonesome.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I could put 000 to make sure that they&#8217;re all groups of four bits. I don&#8217;t really have to because</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I could still kind of understand just by looking at the one that it&#8217;s going to end up being a one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and then literally just translate it the same way I did before. Okay that&#8217;s a 1.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">1 0 1 0 that&#8217;s an A. What&#8217;s a thousand and one? It is a nine. What&#8217;s a 0 100?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">what&#8217;s one oh one oh a what&#8217;s a thousand and one didn&#8217;t i just do that that&#8217;s a nine</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">what&#8217;s a zero zero oh ten that&#8217;s going to be a two for sure yeah two i finally got one off the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">top of my head one zero one one that&#8217;s a b and then uh basically 15 minus eight i don&#8217;t really</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">want to work that out of my head right now so i&#8217;m gonna look at the table seven okay i guess i</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">should have done that easy right like how fast was that so i&#8217;m just going to copy paste these</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">put an ox in front of it and maybe bunch them into groups of two first to see what&#8217;s up</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">okay so they&#8217;re not in groups of two that means this one is kind of i should have started grouping</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">them on the right side kind of messed it up someone just you know rearrange the grouping</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let me punch this into my personal calculator to make sure that I got this right. Actually, let me do this original number here</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I must say</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This binary number is supposed to be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">1 a 9 4 a 9 2 b 7. Okay, we did it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Really easy, right? So every time you have to convert back and forth between binary and hex</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s your lucky day because that&#8217;s like one of the easiest conversions you could do</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thanks for watching this video. I hope you learned a little bit of stuff and had some fun</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;ll see you in the next video.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we&#8217;ll be able to do more videos longer videos better videos or just I&#8217;ll be able to keep making videos in general</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So please do do me a kindness and and subscribe</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You know sometimes I&#8217;m sleeping in the middle of the night</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I just wake up because I know somebody subscribed or followed it just wakes me up and I get filled with joy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s exactly what happens every single time</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So you could do it as a nice favor to me or you could you control me if you want to just wake me up in the middle</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I just subscribe and then I&#8217;ll just wake up. I promise that&#8217;s what will happen</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that&#8217;s what will happen also uh if you look at the middle of the screen right now you should see a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">qr code which you can scan in order to go to the website which i think is also named somewhere at</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the bottom of this video and it&#8217;ll take you to my main website where you can just kind of like see</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">all the videos i published and the services and tutorials and things that i offer and all that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">good stuff and uh if you have a suggestion for uh uh clarifications or errata or just future videos</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">future videos that you want to see please leave a comment or if you just want to say hey what&#8217;s up</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">what&#8217;s going on you know just send me a comment whatever i also wake up for those in the middle</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">of the night i get i wake up in a cold sweat and i&#8217;m like it would really it really mean the world</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">to me i would really appreciate it so again thank you so much for watching this video and um enjoy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the cool music as as i fade into the darkness which is coming for us all</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thank you.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hello there! Ever wondered what number bases are all about? In this video, we?re diving into decimal (base 10 &#8211; the one you already know), binary (base 2 &#8211; just 1s and 0s, how your computer thinks), and hexadecimal (base 16 &#8211; the compact cool kid). I?ll show you how the same number looks totally different across these systems &#8211; binary gets LONG, hex keeps it short and sweet. Plus, why do we even use hex? Spoiler: it?s a game-changer for reading computer memory. Stick around to learn handy prefixes like 0x and 0b to avoid mix-ups. Want to be as cool as those binary-converting pros? Hit subscribe, scan the QR code for more, and let?s geek out together in the next video &#8211; conversions are coming up! Drop a comment with your thoughts or just say hi &#8211; it might wake me up in the middle of the night with joy! </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Please help support us!</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Subscribing + Sharing on Social Media</li>



<li>Leaving a comment or suggestion</li>



<li>Subscribing to our Blog</li>



<li>Watching the main &#8220;pinned&#8221; video of this channel for offers and extras</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hello there. Let&#8217;s talk about number bases. So what are number bases? You&#8217;ve probably at some</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">point heard someone say, hey, I can convert between decimal and binary or between decimal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and hexadecimal or hexadecimal and binary. And you thought that that person was way cooler than you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">were. Well, they are way cooler than you. But if you watch my videos, maybe you can be just as cool</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anyway, so what do we mean by number basis exactly?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;ll start with decimal,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">which is the number system that everybody already understands, I hope.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So in decimal, you have 10 characters, right?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we&#8217;ll say like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s like 9, or sorry, 10 possible characters.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So decimal is actually base 10.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m going to write base 10 here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Decimal is base 10.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">base 10 because it has 10 available characters. The next thing is binary. You&#8217;ve probably heard</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">of that before. Even a lot of non-computer scientists understand binary at least a little</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">bit because it&#8217;s just ones and zeros, right? This is how your computer represents information.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All characters, all numbers, all floats, all everything. They really just come down to zeros</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">and ones inside of the computer. And it&#8217;s not like there&#8217;s an actual zero or an actual one anywhere.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s more like there&#8217;s a certain voltage that represents a one or there&#8217;s a different voltage</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">represents a 1 or there&#8217;s a different voltage that represents a 0.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can think of it as just like voltage or no voltage, but that&#8217;s not always the case.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But you know, long story short, it&#8217;s just 1s and 0s.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So in binary, we can just represent a 0 or we can represent a 1 and that&#8217;s it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because there&#8217;s only two characters that we can use to represent numbers, we call this</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">base 2.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that&#8217;s binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now not a lot of people have heard of hexadecimal outside of computer science, but hexadecimal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">outside of computer science but hexadecimal is a number is another</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">number system that we can use which uses base 16 the reason we use hexadecimal is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">it because it kind of it kind of compacts a number I&#8217;ll show you in a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">second how it can represent the same number but with less characters you can</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">imagine in binary if we have base 2 there&#8217;s only two characters that means</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the same number in decimal versus binary it&#8217;s probably going to be a lot longer</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">imagine that, right?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because it&#8217;s not like the actual numbers change</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that we&#8217;re trying to represent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s just that the representation changes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So hex or hexadecimal,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">we have 16 different characters.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Did I say 15 a moment ago?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sorry if I did.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we start with the normal ones that base 10 has,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">decimal has.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we go three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that&#8217;s 10.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the extra five, we do A, B, C, D, E, F. Sorry, extra six. I knew I was going to say five at some</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">point. So in hexadecimal, we have the characters zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">eight, nine, and then A, B, C, D, E, F. For a total of 16 characters, or one digit can represent</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">here. So this is the basics of the differences between the number systems. Let me show you a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">quick example. Let me see if I got my calculator here. Hopefully it&#8217;ll work. Okay. I&#8217;m going to do,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">let&#8217;s see, variables. So how do you get into this one? Mode. Oh, number base. So I&#8217;m going to do,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">let&#8217;s just pick a random number in decimal. So I&#8217;m going to say like, you know, just hit the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So you can see that if I type a number in decimal and show it in decimal, then well,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">it&#8217;s the exact same size as you probably have suspected.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But if I represent this exact same number in binary, you should probably expect that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the representation is going to be way longer because again, binary only has two characters</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">to work with.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So it&#8217;s harder for it to represent the same information.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I&#8217;m going to change the expression base here to binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oh no, what&#8217;s happening?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What&#8217;s going on here?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Expression base.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oh, I did the wrong thing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Decimal is the expression base.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Binary is the result base.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that same number that we had before, 871, 876, 42,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">look at how huge it is in binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Takes up a lot of your screen, right?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we use binary because it&#8217;s the closest representation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">to what the actual machine has.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that&#8217;s good.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Especially if you want to start manipulating individual bits</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">manipulating individual bits for one reason or another. It&#8217;s good to know how to, it&#8217;s good to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">understand binary. But hexadecimal is useful, like I said before, to compact the same number. So</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">again, because the base of the original number is 10, you know, we had the original number in decimal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If we show a hexadecimal version of it, it should be shorter because there&#8217;s 16 characters to work</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">with. It&#8217;s easier for it to represent the same information. So the result base, I&#8217;m just going</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">hexadecimal here and look at how short that number is the original number is one two three four five</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">six seven eight it&#8217;s eight characters long but the hexadecimal number is two four six seven</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">characters long and that savings in characters will go up and up and up the more you know the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">longer the original or the bigger the original number is let me see if I can just add some more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">numbers here okay let&#8217;s see if we get more savings here one two three four five six seven eight nine</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so the original number is 15 long and here we have 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So that&#8217;s a savings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now think about it this way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a huge savings compared to binary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s go back to binary real fast.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Same number, which is currently in hex.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As soon as I start showing it in binary, the number explodes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So there are a lot of numbers, especially if you have a 64-bit number, which you work</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">if you were to just take you know one of those 64-bit numbers and try to express it in binary</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">it&#8217;s just kind of like it&#8217;s really really long and if you want to represent anything even a little</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">bit bigger like 128-bit numbers or even the contents of memory from you know one memory</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">location to another binaries just can explode and fly off the screen so this is why I mean this is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">one of the biggest reasons why we use hexadecimal because it&#8217;s just it&#8217;s easier to see what&#8217;s inside</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">of the computer it&#8217;s easier than decimal and it&#8217;s easier than binary at least once you understand</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">hexadecimal one other thing that i want to uh show you real fast let me see like let me change</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that back to decimal so i don&#8217;t screw myself later okay um suppose that you wanted to represent a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">number in binary sorry let&#8217;s say decimal well you know we&#8217;ll say like one two three four right and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">well actually let&#8217;s not do one two three four let&#8217;s say like a thousand and one and then you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">want to represent a number in binary and you write one zero zero one and then you want to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">represent a number in hexadecimal you could also have one zero zero one right the problem is that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">each of these numbers are actually different numbers they only look the same because the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">character representation is the same but not the actual number so how do you uh how do you sort of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How do you sort of like differentiate and make sure that the person reading the numbers that you&#8217;ve written down knows what base they&#8217;re in?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because if you know if you&#8217;re a computer scientist or you&#8217;re doing some kind of crazy math, then</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">well, it might not be obvious and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you want to be careful that the person doesn&#8217;t misinterpret your results.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so let me do that thing again real fast</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">just to prove to you. What am I doing here? Units? No.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mode.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so I&#8217;m going to say if I write 1001, I&#8217;m going to display it as decimal,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">but the input is first going to be decimal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So in decimal, 1001 is 1001.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, that&#8217;s fine.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But if this 1001 was actually a binary number,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m going to say that the expression base is binary here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Notice how the real number is actually 9 if you represented it in decimal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">expression like the original number was you know the characters were hexadecimal then the real</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">decimal version of 1001 would be 4097 that&#8217;s three totally different numbers so you got to be careful</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that you know what you&#8217;re reading and you got to be careful that you help the person reading what</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you&#8217;re writing down if you&#8217;re trying to transmit this information so with hexadecimal a really</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">really common prefix that everyone should use is ox ox and then any number after that usually just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">reading this is a hexadecimal number so there&#8217;s no ambiguity same thing for binary you&#8217;ll just say</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">like ob and then for decimal you just just leave it alone i think there&#8217;s a another prefix you can</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">use but i usually don&#8217;t use anything but at least uh ob says this is binary and ox means this is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">hexadecimal and then nothing just means okay just default to human reading just decimal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">okay this was the basics of number bases in other videos i&#8217;m going to talk about how to actually</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">between these three bases maybe in the future at some other point in some other</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">video far off in YouTube land I might talk about octal or some other base but</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">in the immediate future it&#8217;s going to be decimal binary and hexadecimal so I</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">hope you&#8217;ve enjoyed this video I&#8217;ll see you in the next</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">hey everybody thanks for watching this video again from the bottom of my heart</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I really appreciate it I do hope you did learn something and have some fun if you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">a small little favor could you please subscribe and follow this channel or</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">these videos or whatever it is you do on the current social media website that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you&#8217;re looking at right now it would really mean the world to me and it&#8217;ll</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">help make more videos and grow this community so we&#8217;ll be able to do more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">videos longer videos better videos or just I&#8217;ll be able to keep making videos</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">in general so please do do me a kindness and and subscribe you know sometimes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m sleeping in the middle of the night and I just wake up because I know</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">wake up because I know somebody subscribed or followed. It just wakes me up and I get filled</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">with joy. That&#8217;s exactly what happens every single time. So you could do it as a nice favor to me or</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you could you could troll me if you want to just wake me up in the middle of the night just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">subscribe and then I&#8217;ll just wake up. I promise that&#8217;s what will happen. Also if you look at the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">middle of the screen right now you should see a QR code which you can scan in order to go to the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">website which I think is also named somewhere at the bottom of this video and it&#8217;ll take you to my</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can just kind of like see all the videos I published and the services and tutorials and things that I offer and all that good stuff.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if you have a suggestion for clarifications or errata or just future videos that you want to see, please leave a comment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Or if you just want to say, hey, what&#8217;s up? What&#8217;s going on? You know, just send me a comment, whatever.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I also wake up for those in the middle of the night. I wake up in a cold sweat and I&#8217;m like,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It would really mean the world to me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I would really appreciate it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So again, thank you so much for watching this video.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And enjoy the cool music as I fade into the darkness, which is coming for us all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thank you.</p>
