This computer architecture tutorial explains the basic elements of computer memory bits and bytes. Bits allow computers to store numbers in binary notation. In this tutorial, we explain how to represent numbers in binary and hexadecimal notation and how they differ from decimal notation. Lesson page:

  • Nice video playlist to teach new programmers binary number basics.

  • @8906131108 There was actually some controversy in the beginning between 6 bits and 8 bits. Eventually 8 bits won out.

  • @pcuncle

    I know this was posted a year back but check out The newboston, Bucky is a great tutor.

  • at last I understand what is 0x before any hex number means

    I've seen it a lot but never understood what it means

    Big Like :)

    God Bless You

  • Wonder how it was decided that 8 bits = 1 byte... How did they come with that standard?

  • haha computer scientists took a nibble out of a byte :)

  • whoa! lottsa numbers!!! a very well presented video. kudos to you.. :)

  • Thanks for this very useful and helpful lecture. SO informative and comprehensive.
