I said in an earlier topic that I would make a full doc on how to do binary math, so here it is.

I'll start this off by describing what Binary is. Binary is a base 2 number system. What a base 2 number system is, is well, a number system with only 2 digits in it. 0, and 1. Our main number system that we use in ordinary life is a base 10 number system, so it includes 10 different digits. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. There is also a base 16 number system I know of called Hexadecimal, which I will go into later.

Let's begin with the two most simple math functions, Addition and Subtraction. The rules of addition are 0 + 0 = 0, 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 0 = 1, 1 + 1 = 0 (And carry a one).

Example:


Subtraction is exactly the same, except you have to convert the second number to it's negative equivalent. To convert a number you have to turn every 1 to a 0, and every 0 to a 1. Then add 1 to it.

Example:


After you convert it, you just have to add the two numbers together. I am going to run through the rules of a few other math functions really quickly, so here I go. I put them in spoilers to save space.











Hopefully, you were able to understand how to do all that, and that you learned something from that.

The topic is edited to fix that. -Gray

I'll add that later when I have more time. -Void
