2. Bit numbering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_numbering

   This table illustrates an example of an 8 bit signed decimal value using the two's complement method. The MSb most significant bit has a negative weight in signed integers, in this case -2 7 = -128. The other bits have positive weights. The lsb (least significant bit) has weight 1. The signed value is in this case -128+2 = -126.

3. Binary number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

   The base-2 numeral system is a positional notation with a radix of 2.Each digit is referred to as a bit, or binary digit.Because of its straightforward implementation in digital electronic circuitry using logic gates, the binary system is used by almost all modern computers and computer-based devices, as a preferred system of use, over various other human techniques of communication, because ...

4. Binary integer decimal - Wikipedia

   A binary encoding is inherently less efficient for conversions to or from decimal-encoded data, such as strings (ASCII, Unicode, etc.) and BCD. A binary encoding is therefore best chosen only when the data are binary rather than decimal. IBM has published some unverified performance data. [2]

5. Binary-coded decimal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal

   In this clock, each column of LEDs shows a binary-coded decimal numeral of the traditional sexagesimal time. In computing and electronic systems, binary-coded decimal (BCD) is a class of binary encodings of decimal numbers where each digit is represented by a fixed number of bits, usually four or eight.
