4. Yeah, right. Like either of those is any good. |

What odd numbers to choose. Neither has any significance.

Now, an interesting one would be:
001010011010
or maybe
001111100101
or perhaps even
000010001011

You posted something like 149 and 1390. 149 is almost interesting, but it would need to be 139 to be cool.
The numbers I chose were, in order:
666 (the number of the beast)
997 (the largest 3 digit prime number)
139 (the smallest 3 digit prime number; and also happens to be a 3 digit number in which the middle digit is the geometric mean of the other two digits)

binary numbers ARE real numbers. You likely meant to say "decimal numbers".
You read 'em just like reading decimal numbers, except that in place of each digit being a power of ten, it's a power of two.
So 1 is 01 (0*2 + 1*1) 2 is 10 (1*2 + 0*1) 3 is 11 (1*2+1*1) and 4 is 100 (1*4+0*2+0*1) and 8 is 1000 and 16 is 10000
etc. etc. etc.
It's the same way that decimal works. It becomes unwieldly because to do a larger number like 1024 take a lot of digits: 10000000000
And the way all number systems work: hexidecimal is base 16, so you have every digit place as a power of 16; and since we don't have 16 digits to work with, we use 0-9 and A-F.
So, 1 is still 01 But 10 is now 0A
15 is E
256 is 100
and the aforementioned 666 becomes 29A in hex. Hexidecimal is nice because it doesn't take as many digits to write large numbers. 1024 is 400.
Octal is base 8, and so on and so on and so on.

Though I don't program any more. Well, not much. Not for real, anyway.

13. Why is there no 00000011rd choice? |
|
Every poll needs a 00000011rd choice!
