Binárny

Binárny is a term that can refer to several related concepts, primarily within mathematics and computer science. At its core, it signifies something composed of two parts or elements.

In mathematics, "binárny" most commonly refers to the binary number system. This system, also known as base-2, uses only two digits, 0 and 1, to represent numbers. Unlike the decimal system (base-10) which uses ten digits, the binary system is fundamental to digital electronics and computing. Each position in a binary number represents a power of two, starting from 2^0 on the rightmost side. For example, the binary number 101 is equivalent to (1 * 2^2) + (0 * 2^1) + (1 * 2^0) = 4 + 0 + 1 = 5 in decimal.

The term "binárny" can also describe operations that involve two operands. A binary operation is a mathematical operation that takes two inputs (operands) and produces a single output. Examples include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in arithmetic. In logic, binary operations include AND, OR, and XOR.

In a broader sense, "binárny" can simply denote a relationship or structure involving two distinct entities. For instance, a binary star system in astronomy consists of two stars orbiting a common center of mass. The concept of binary choice implies a decision between two mutually exclusive options. Therefore, while its most frequent association is with the binary number system, "binárny" broadly signifies duality or a two-part composition.
