The numbers systems

The numbers systems ( cs )

Note :this material for people who interested to know how deep is computer thinking and stores info, basically computer science but i am going to explain it with my understanding in easy way and hop it helps.

The number system define how number can be represented using distinct symbols, as we use symbol (characters) for creating words in language,

we use symbols (digits) to represent the numbers, however we know that number of symbols (character) is limited in any language, we need to repeat characters and combine them to create words,

It’s the same for numbers ; we have a limited number of symbols (digit) to represent numbers, which means the digits need to be represented.

We define them in two groups:

  • positional numbers systems
  • Non-positional numbers systems.

I am gonna start a summary with positional numbers system next post.
