0b0111

0b0111 is a binary number. In the binary numeral system, which is base-2, digits can only be 0 or 1. The prefix "0b" is a common convention used in many programming languages and contexts to indicate that the following sequence of digits represents a binary number.

The binary number 0b0111 can be converted to its decimal (base-10) equivalent. To do this, we assign weights to each digit based on its position, starting from the rightmost digit with a weight of 2^0, then 2^1, 2^2, and so on. For 0b0111, the calculation is as follows:

(0 * 2^3) + (1 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (1 * 2^0)

= (0 * 8) + (1 * 4) + (1 * 2) + (1 * 1)

= 0 + 4 + 2 + 1

= 7

Therefore, the binary number 0b0111 is equal to the decimal number 7. This representation is fundamental in computer science and digital electronics, where information is processed and stored using binary code. The number 7, in binary, is typically represented as 111. The leading zero in 0b0111 does not change the numerical value but might be used for padding or to signify a specific bit length in certain applications.
