that uses distinct symbols for 'x' digits. The permissible number of digits in the 'x' based number system is always one less from its base (x-1). In digital representation, various number systems are used. The
to verify that data is read correctly, but this is out of the scope of this article). This is one of the reasons why the binary system – using only two levels/states – is used in computers. Binary comes from the Latin language and means that something is composed of two things. Bin...
Sure, binary takes up more space, but we're held back by the hardware. And for some things, like logic processing, binary is better than decimal. There's another base system that's also used in programming: hexadecimal. Although computers don't run on hexadecimal, programmers use it to ...
The physical layer is the lowest layer in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model and is closest to the physical medium (communication channel) that transmits data. Data is transmitted on the physical layer in binary bits (0 or 1). Transmission of bits depends on transmission de...

In 2024, a nonbinary teenager at Owasso High School named Nex Benedict died by suicide after relentless bullying from classmates. A subsequent U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights investigation found the district responded with “deliberate indifference” to some families’ re...
where K is a positive constant and p is the probability of receiving symbol i from a finite alphabet of size n. This dimensionless measure will be maximal for a homogeneous probability distribution, and minimal when only one symbol has a probability p = 1. In binary, we have only two symb...
Sometimes they’re used by computers to communicate with us; + sometimes with each other. + Definitionally, it seems wrong to exclude these possibilities. But in practice, yes—what we’re usually doing with a programming language is,...
unknown variables of a discrete variable are predicted based on known value of other variables. The response variable is categorical, meaning it can assume only a limited number of values. With binary logistic regression, a response variable has only two values such as 0 or 1. In multiple logi...
