Unlike the decimal numbering system that has base 10 and uses ten digits, the binary numbering system is the base 2 and uses two digits, that is, 0 and 1. As such, the binary numbering system has had a number of applications in technology, especially in the field of electronics.
Table C.1 represents the both decimal and binary numbering systems:
