  2. Binary code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_code

    The word 'Wikipedia' represented in ASCII binary code, made up of 9 bytes (72 bits). A binary code represents text, computer processor instructions, or any other data using a two-symbol system. The two-symbol system used is often "0" and "1" from the binary number system. The binary code assigns a pattern of binary digits, also known as bits ...

  3. List of file signatures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures

    In the table below, the column "ISO 8859-1" shows how the file signature appears when interpreted as text in the common ISO 8859-1 encoding, with unprintable characters represented as the control code abbreviation or symbol, or codepage 1252 character where available, or a box otherwise. In some cases the space character is shown as ␠.

  4. Bitstream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitstream

    A bitstream (or bit stream), also known as binary sequence, is a sequence of bits. A bytestream is a sequence of bytes . Typically, each byte is an 8-bit quantity , and so the term octet stream is sometimes used interchangeably.

  5. Computer number format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_number_format

    Similar binary floating-point formats can be defined for computers. There is a number of such schemes, the most popular has been defined by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The IEEE 754-2008 standard specification defines a 64 bit floating-point format with: an 11-bit binary exponent, using "excess-1023" format.

  6. List of binary codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_binary_codes

    This is a list of some binary codes that are (or have been) used to represent text as a sequence of binary digits "0" and "1". Fixed-width binary codes use a set number of bits to represent each character in the text, while in variable-width binary codes, the number of bits may vary from character to character.

  7. Base64 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64

    As with all binary-to-text encoding schemes, Base64 is designed to carry data stored in binary formats across channels that only reliably support text content. Base64 is particularly prevalent on the World Wide Web [ 1 ] where one of its uses is the ability to embed image files or other binary assets inside textual assets such as HTML and CSS ...

  8. Binary-coded decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal

    A "12 zone" punch set both B and A, an "11 zone" set B, and a "0 zone" (a 0 punch combined with any others) set A. Thus the letter A, which is (12,1) in the punched card format, is encoded (B,A,1). The currency symbol $, (11,8,3) in the punched card, was encoded in memory as (B,8,2,1). This allows the circuitry to convert between the punched ...

  9. Barker code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barker_code

    A Barker code has a maximum autocorrelation sequence which has sidelobes no larger than 1. It is generally accepted that no other perfect binary phase codes exist. [9] [10] (It has been proven that there are no further odd-length codes, [11] nor even-length codes of N < 10 22. [12])
