My Knowledge of Binary Numbering

In one of my previous classes, Mr. Vogel also taught us a computer operation called Binary Numbering. All computers work on binary operations which are based on "switches" that are also called "bits." For example,

1111

is a four-bit byte with all the switches set to on. (On is represented as a 1 and the off is represented as a 0). These four switches represent a sequence of numbers using the same positional values as the decimal system. The values are powers of two reading from right to left.
