Our tool changes binary numbers into readable text or vice versa text to binary. Think of it as translating computer language into human language. This is needed when we can't send or store just binary numbers.
In simple terms, we use a system that takes 7 bits to turn letters, numbers, and symbols into a digital format. Here's how it works:
- Everything digital is in binary, where 1 means 'on' and 0 means 'off'.
- ASCII is a common code we use. It has 128 unique codes (0-127) for English letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Fun fact: Uppercase "A" in binary is 01000001, but lowercase "a" is 01100001. The number 2 is 0110010 in binary.
You can also convert between:
- Text and Binary
- Binary and Hex
- Binary and Decimal
- ASCII and Binary or Text
- HEX and Text or Decimal
Every digital platform and computer relies on this binary system to execute instructions and operate efficiently.
Binary System Basics
Electronics and computers communicate using the binary system, consisting of just the numbers 0 and 1. With combinations of these, you can represent numbers 0 through 9 and more.
