right i got bored so i decided to make up a char to binary tutorial as i
figured out how it works
ok, basically 0's do nothing, except separate the ones, well its kinda hard to explain. right say we have this.
32 16 8 4 2 1
that represents how binary is layed out. but it doubles each time. so you would have
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
and it continues on
so if you had
32 16 8 4 2 1
0 0 0 1 0 1
that would be 4+1 which is equal to 5.
therefore 101 = 5.
you write binary from right to left but you read it from left to right.
and if you get into converting letters to binary then is a bit harder.
you gotta look at you character map and keep counting to the left until you get the the character you want. so:
64 32 16 8 4 2 1
1 0 0 0 0 0 1
is a capital A because in the character map its the 65th character over if you count and 1+64 = 65.
so 1000001 = 65 = A
edit: errmm if the 1s and 0's look a bit off from the numbers above them its cuz phpbb is moving them over >.< i guess you have limited number of spaces between each character.
