Binary Translator: The Language of Computers

‍

What is Binary?

You may have heard the term “binary code” before, or you could be asking yourself “What is it?”. 

We are going to take a look at what binary is, how it works, and how it can be used in the real world as well as introducing you to different ways it can be used.

People tend to think of them as something only related to computers and video games and programs, but the truth is they are all around us if we just know how to look.

Binary is a way of expressing numbers in a particular base, usually base 2 (binary). Binary numbers are made up of sequences of 0s and 1s. They are used in computers because everything works in this system. 

Did you know that a byte is 8 binary digits?

And that you use binary every day when doing simple math using your calculator (if it has an advanced mode)? 

I’m not sure if you’re aware but the binary is the future. Everything to do with our lives such as communication, transportation, entertainment, and the list goes on will all be done in binary. 

It’s like those words that you use every day that have a double meaning depending on how you look at them. 

Binary can refer to something as so simple as 0 and 1. 

This is useful when we want to store data digitally for it allows us to use less memory space in our computers (or whatever device we’re using).

How Does the Binary Work?

The binary is the backbone of any computer-based system. It's become advanced in recent years, yet still follows the same underlying principles. 

You don’t need to know how it is working as a practice just because I already developed a binary translator Which you can see above. But understanding how computers drive our world, knowing the concept is important. 

Base-2 system is a numeral system of the computer. People mainly use it for computers to work in programming environments. Since the computer uses 0 and 1 to represent different values, the work of a binary system is made easier due to this coding system.

When the world began, it was just ones and zeros. It has evolved into a complex system full of formulas, algorithms, computers, and people who write codes for them. This has developed one more interesting observation about everything computerized – they work on that system.

History of Computers

Personal computers have become common in the last 30 years. The access of ordinary people like me started in this period. However, the history of computers is old. You can keep reading to see how old it is.

You already have a binary code translator above. However, to understand the concept, we need to take a look at Computer’s History. 

The history of the computer can be traced back to the late 19th century. A computer is a programmable machine that can store and retrieve information. 

This information is stored in the form of data and is organized by a system of storing and retrieving that data. 

The word computer can refer to a person who operates the computer or an automatic mechanism that operates the computer. 

The history of computing hardware starts with the abacus which was developed as early as 1500 B.C. in ancient Babylon and continues through to modern-day computers.

But you have a binary decoder to know how Computers understand us. You can use it for free.

How Does Computer Works?

This section understands how a computer works. Everything you see on your computer screen is a result of high-level processes and complex algorithms running in the background.

A computer is a boon for mankind. It has changed the way we think, work, and behave. A computer is an information processing system. It can store and manipulate data following a list of instructions called a computer program.

The computer instruction could be compared to a recipe, which is a set of instructions on how to make something edible, be it cake or pizza. For computers, these instructions are coded into programs, which are stored in the memory. 

The processor gets these programs from the memory and carries out the activities specified in them.

How does this Binary Translator Works?

I share the binary code translator with everyone for free. However, I may need to explain how it is used. I developed this tiny tool so that you can use it without any guidance. However, maybe a small guide can help.

The left part covers the texts you will find in English by entering binary. We can call it a short binary to words converter.

The other side also translates a word into binary. If you want to translate a binary code, you need to use this section.

It's that simple.
