This post is a collection of quotes about binary code. There are 5 quotes listed below. License: CC BY-SA 3.0

 

1. "The two-symbol system used is often '0' and '1' from the binary number system. The binary code assigns a pattern of binary digits, also known as bits, to each character, instruction, etc." (Wikipedia: Binary code, 1.10.23 UTC 22:34)

 

2. "In computing and telecommunications, binary codes are used for various methods of encoding data, such as character strings, into bit strings." (Wikipedia: Binary code, 1.10.23 UTC 22:34)

 

3. "The bit represents a logical state with on of two possible values." (Wikipedia: Bit, 01.17.23 UTC 01:00)

 

4. "The modern binary number system, the basis for binary code, was invented by Gottfried Leibniz in 1689..." (Wikipedia: Binary code, 1.10.23 UTC 22:34)

 

5. "In 1937, Shannon wrote his master's thesis, A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits, which implemented his findings. Shannon's thesis became a starting point for the use of the binary code in practical applications such as computers, electric circuits, and more." (Wikipedia: Binary code, 1.10.23 UTC 22:34)
