                                Number System                       Decimal to Binary Conversion
                                  Binary to Decimal Conversion         Operations on Binary Numbers



            A computer takes data from a user and produces result as information. Although the words data
            and information are often used interchangeably, but there is an important distinction between
            the two words. In the strict sense, data consists of the raw numbers that computers organise to
            produce information.

            From an early age, we are introduced to the concept of numbers and counting. Toddlers learn at
            an early age that they can carry two cookies, one in each hand. Kindergarteners start counting
            by twos and fives. Invariably, we use the decimal number system. Our number system is based
            on 10, most likely because we have 10 fingers. Let us learn more about the number system.

                NUMBER SYSTEM

            A Number System is simply a method of counting. There are many number systems in existence.
            Consider a clock. Clocks have 24 hours, each hour composed of 60 minutes. Each minute is in
            turn composed of 60 seconds. When you learnt to count, you used the numbers, like 1, 2, 3, etc.
            Similarly, computers also have their own number system, known as the binary number system.

            The digital computer represents all kinds of data and information like audio, graphics, video, text
            and numbers in binary form.
