    Okay so for the most part I've been advoiding this cause it dont make sense 000000000000000000000000001  something like that.  Any place that explains an decodes binary?  College stuff an sorts.

    Lot of stuff on the web ....... plenty.

    I have a page on one of my sites which might help you if you are starting off - just explanatory stuff and with a bias toward colors and binary/hex.

    Take a peek if it might help.

      is a number in binary. What don't you understand? You understand 125 or 62 or 3419 don't you, and they are numbers.

        Fair enough but you were not specific.!  Original question is a bit vague.

        "Simplified numbers"! - well those are base 10 that's all - same as binary might be base 2, 8, 16 etc.

        I think if decoding is what you are after, a web search will work - or use a hand held calculator with that function.

          Binary:

          1 = 1
          10 = 2
          11 = 3

          ...
          go from right to left adding 2 to the power of the position to a running total. This wil give you the decimal equivalent.

          Unless your actually talking about Machine code, which is somewhat dumb to learn ever. ASM would be beneficial, especially on account of not actually being able to see the binary representation of any executables.

          It's a very non-exclusive club. The main confuser for me was "decodes binary" you don't decode binary, so that kind of made the whole question ambiguous. I'm sure we'll discover the actual intended question around page 7.
          I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

          I take "decodes binary"  as conversion from binary/hex to decimal. :)

          aside from the fact that it isn't Decoding but rather a simple base conversion.

            Thats what I'm looking for, however someone with more math understanding then I can say its easy.  should 11=4 since its based 2 ?  It just seems logical to me.  I understand a little better at any chance so 101 is six?

            00001   00010   00100   01000   10000
            1       2       4       8       16

            Sort of like this. I can explain it well on paper.

            Look at the link I gave you and click on the numbers 1, 2, 4, 7, 16. What do you notice about the hand?
