0011110010011111
The string "0011110010011111" is a binary number. Binary is a base-2 numeral system that uses only two symbols, typically "0" and "1", to represent numbers. Each digit in a binary number is called a bit.
This particular binary sequence can be interpreted as a whole number. To convert it to decimal (base-10),
(0 * 2^15) + (0 * 2^14) + (1 * 2^13) + (1 * 2^12) + (1 * 2^11) + (1 * 2^10) + (0 * 2^9) + (0
This calculation results in 8192 + 4096 + 2048 + 1024 + 128 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 15519
In computing, binary is fundamental as it directly corresponds to the on/off states of electronic circuits.
