The natives of a remote Polynesian Island invented a binary number system, similar to the one used by computers to calculate, centuries before Western mathematicians did, new research suggests. The ...

To multiply a negative number, an arithmetic binary shift moves all the digits in the binary number along to the left and fills the gaps after the shift with 0: to multiply by two, all digits shift ...

In the late 1930s, Claude Shannon showed that by using switches that close for "true" and open for "false," it was possible to carry out logical operations by assigning the number 1 to "true" and 0 ...

Old mainframe computers are interesting, especially to those of us who weren’t around to see them in action. We sit with old-timers and listen to their stories of the good ol’ days. They tell us about ...

There are four rules that need to be followed when adding two binary numbers. These are: 0 + 0 = 0 1 + 0 = 1 1 + 1 = 10 (binary for denary 2) 1 + 1 + 1 = 11 (binary for denary 3) ...
