rating in binary, how very un-woke of you

it can either be a 1 or a 0 agreed

does rating binarily satisfy the conditions outlined by the Fibonacci sequence, or does it serve as a contradiction of sorts?

2 to the power of 0 is 1 that's all I'm saying

Nope, it's actually 1 ^^'

nope, 2^0 is the reason we can represent a 1 in base 2 notation

is it different to simply saying 2 x 0 then? Maths really is weird sometimes. Like, there's a 2 but they're in groups of erm... no actual groups, so zero

doesn't even exist

argh, I hate this illogical nonsense

and if having something be 'to the power of x' is somehow treated differently to 'multiply by x' then it'd maybe make more sense to me if the answer was 2

I guess there's a reasonable explanation to all this

think of base 2 notation (2 to the power of) as doubling.



1 doubled 0 times is 1

1 doubled 1 times is 2

1 doubled 2 times is 4

oh doubling does make sense now, is that actually how it works or have you just manipulated the system to force logic upon something illogical?

bless you foggy

that's how they explained binary notation to me in my visual basic course when i was 19

2^0 = 1

2^1 = 2

2^2 = 4

2^3 = 8

2^4 = 16

2^5 = 32

2^6 = 64

2^7 = 128

That is eight bits, so the maximum number you can represent with eight bits is all those added together, which is 255

before that i was only used to working with decimal, which is base 10, which means you have 10 different symbols to represent numbers, binary you only have a 1 and 0 thus doubling is conceptually how it works.

All those other equations make sense, 2^0 = 1 didn't (until just now). 8 bits though. What?

I'm still not entirely sure what binary notion actually is, but that's cool, you don't need to elaborate further
