1+1= .....?, Here I am to tear logic from your mind.

Ok. Anyone who is familiar with the base system will already know this and won't be shocking or anything. But anyone who doesn't. Mwuahahaha... I think I've grasped it pretty well. First some backround info on why this is important. All computers run on the basic commands of on, off. On off is represented in binary as 0's and 1's. So everything said in a computer is 1's and 0's. Fun... Binary is represented as Base2. This means it has 2 unique characters. Those are base-1. In this case. 2-1 which means there are two unique characters which are... 0-1. If it was base 9 it would be 9-1 or 9 unique characters of 0-8. Easiest beggining is Base10 (decimal [numbers are you know them]) which is 10 unique characters of 0-9. Also. Base is always 10... For example. Base 8 would be 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 20. Basically. 8 does not exist in Base8 because base is 10. Now... What fools people. In base3 for example. You would go 0 1 2 10 11 12 20 21 22 100. Yep... 100. Why is that. Well. ----------------------------------
1 <- Carried 1. Again. 1 + 2 is 3 but 3 is 10 |
22
+ 1 <- 2 + 1 is 3. But 3 is 10. So drop the 0 carry the 1 < - |
100

From there you just continue the pattern. Oh. Almost forgot. Base's are what its to the power of. Like base 3 is 3 to the power of 1. 3 to the power of 2. And so on and so forth. Not sure if this all makes sense... Sure its kinda jumbled. But I can always explain more if anyone is actually interested. If Im wrong in any parts let me know. But Im 99% sure I got it.

Also. Small chart. Base 16 is hexadecimal.

Decimal--------Binary---------Hexadecimal
0-------------0000---------------0
1-------------0001---------------1
2-------------0010---------------2
3-------------0011---------------3
4-------------0100---------------4
5-------------0101---------------5
6-------------0110---------------6
7-------------0111---------------7
8-------------1000---------------8
9-------------1001---------------9
10-------------1010---------------A<- See below
11-------------1011---------------B
12-------------1100---------------C
13-------------1101---------------D
14-------------1110---------------E
15-------------1111---------------F

**Hexadecimal is Base16. It has 16 unique characters. However. 10 is not unique as there is already a 1 and a 0. So it goes 9 A B C, ect.**

Um...I still don't understand binary.

[Orion19819]

Binary isn't that rough. Theres eight factors you must always remember for it. 128,64,32,16,8,4,2,1. If you want to translate a decimal number to binary you use those numbers. A picture would be much better... I'll add it later. (No description at this time. Too hard over the computer)
