Definition of Binary

binary
1. <mathematics> Base two. A number representation consisting of zeros and ones used by practically all computers because of its ease of implementation using digital electronics and Boolean algebra.
2. Any file format for digital data encoded as a sequence of bits but not consisting of a sequence of printable characters (text). The term is often used for executable machine code.
Of course all digital data, including characters, is actually binary data (unless it uses some (rare) system with more than two discrete levels) but the distinction between binary and text is well established.
3. A description of an operator which takes two arguments. See also unary, ternary.

Binary
the base 2 numbers system. All numbers are represented as a string of ones and zeros. The number system used by digital computers. A one is represented by a voltage and a zero by the absence of a voltage. In 4 bit binary the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, would be represented by 0000, 0001, 0010, 0011, 0100, 0101 respectively.

Binary
Binary data type

A data type that stores fixed-length binary data. The maximum length is 255 bytes.

Binary
The Base 2 numbering system that has a very high use in PC technology. 10 in Binary is equivalent to 2 in decimal.

Binary
A system for encoded digital information using two components: 0 and 1.

BINARY
- Static variable in class java.sql.Types 
public static final int BINARY

Binary
Of or based on the number two or the binary numeration system (base 2). Digital computers use this form of numbering because the values of 0 and 1 can easily be represented by an open or closed switch.

binary
A numbering system involving the use of '1' and '0' eg. 11001001

BINARY
Binary means the use of only two values,0 and 1,in encoding data.All digital computers primarly use some form of binary encoding,such as 8 ,16,32 binary digits at a time.Characters that you see on screen or type with your keyboard are normally encoded with 8 binary digits.For example the binary value for the letter A is 01000001.

Binary
Binary is a two-digit (Base-2) numerical system, which computers use to store data and compute functions. The reason computers use the binary system is because digital switches inside the computer can only be set to either on or off, which can be easily represented by a 1 or 0. Though the binary system consists of only 0's and 1's, the two digits can be used to represent any number. For example, 0 in binary represents 0, 1 represents 1 (2^0), 10 represents 2 (2^1), 11 represents 3 (2^1 + 2^0), 100 represents 4 (2^2), 101 represents 5 (2^2 + 2^0), 110 represents 6 (2^2 + 2^1), 111 represents 7 (2^2 + 2^1 + 2^0), 1000 represents 8 (2^3), etc.

Two
Two The prime religious and mystical meaning in the science of numeration is finite completion, involving defined limits, and hence standing in sharp contrast to the indefiniteness associated with the nonfinite or cosmic; and therefore Pythagoras and his school looked upon two as beginning the series of even numbers, each one signifying a completion or a balance, suggesting the material worlds as contrasted with the spiritual. The binary was regarded as "the origin of differentiation, hence of contrasts, discord, or matter, the beginning of evil. . . . With the early Pythagoreans, however, the duad was that imperfect state into which the first manifested being fell when it got detached from the Monad. It was the point from which the two roads -- the Good and the Evil -- bifurcated. All that which was double-faced or false was called by them 'binary' " (SD 2:574-5). It was represented geometrically as a line, because two is produced by the first motion from indivisible spiritual nature: the line also forms the tie or union between two points.

binary
1. Pertaining to a selection, choice, or condition that has two possible different values or states. 2. Pertaining to a fixed radix numeration system that has a radix of 2.

Binary
A numbering system with only two values: 0 (zero) and 1 (one).

Binary
Two-valued. A binary relation states how two kinds of elements are linked, e.g., "is married to", "is talking with", "is larger than", "precedes" . A binary alphabet contains two kinds of characters, e.g., "0" and "1", "yes" and "no." A distinction, e.g. between "inside" and "outside", is a binary operation. Binary contrasts with unary = one-valued, ternary = three-valued, etc. (krippendorff )

binary

Binary (adj.)

Binary
A digital numbering system based on two where data is expressed as combinations of "0"s and "1"s). Bit - A single unit of digital information expressed as a "0" or "1".

binary
