0b01111000

0b01111000 is a binary number, which is a base-2 numeral system used in digital electronics and computing. In this system, each digit, or bit, can be either 0 or 1. The prefix "0b" is used to indicate that the number is in binary format. The sequence "01111000" represents a specific combination of bits.

In decimal (base-10) notation, 0b01111000 is equivalent to the number 120. This conversion is done by multiplying each bit by 2 raised to the power of its position, starting from 0 on the right, and summing the results. For 0b01111000, this calculation is as follows:

(0 * 2^0) + (0 * 2^1) + (0 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^3) + (1 * 2^4) + (1 * 2^5) + (1 * 2^6) + (0 * 2^7) = 120

Binary numbers like 0b01111000 are fundamental in computer science and digital technology. They are used to represent data, instructions, and states in digital systems. Understanding binary is crucial for programming, hardware design, and data analysis.
