Is there a into to understanding Binary?

Question

Hello, new to SoloLearn and the coding world.
Is there a solo learn class that is an intro to Binary?

Answer 1

At the moment no. someone may add one later through lesson factory.

You can send your feedback from suggestions in-app or email to [e-mail]

Meanwhile consider learning from external sources like some below.
can't let learning be hindered by small obstacles can we?

Answer 2

@Pedro I strongly disagree. Binary [code] is the foundation of computer science. It's all computed in base 2 [& hexadecimal], not base 10 that we use in everyday life. Understanding it & knowing how to work with it is a HUGE factor when it comes to understanding computations, memory allocation, addressing, negativity(bit operarions), etc. Why is 1GB =1024MB & not 1000? What is a memory leak at address 0x? If I add +1 to a pointer address, where will it point to? What's the difference between Mb & MB? what's a byte? what's a bit? I could go on and on. Know the math...

I'm surprised people are still commenting in this thread when Pedro seems to have disappeared. Haha. Basically, the main question seems to have been, "Is there a [Solo Learn]Intro To Understanding Binary course?" and some have the opinion like Pedro does, that there is no point in learning it but, imo, you absolutely must. **WITHOUT EXCEPTION.** Don't just think about the math using it. Thats actually the simpler part. Binary is the [base] logic behind all of the algorithms you'll write code for, &reference, *point to, etc. in memory addresses of base 2. It'll be a way of thinking.

Answer 4

hi guys binary is literally machine code that consists of 0's and 1's . Its just common sense to how a computer work and it requires no intro just imagine that there is a problem to which there is either true or false.

I didn't even see what Pedro said. 😮
