Bit Operations

Introduction

Welcome to the internet…not. Well, you may find it odd to find bits here. It seems out of place, right? Well, if we are to think about it, bit is a form of language that is for computers. 

Bit, or Binary Digit, is a string of numbers used to represent certain values in programming. 

This mix of 1s and 0s: 

0001000111 

This is called a bit string. To find the bit string, simply count the symbols present. This particular bit string counts 10 digits.

Given 1100101011001, the bit string for this is 13.

Why are we learning this though? This is math, not computer science! Well, there’s a reason for that.

In our case, these bits would not be used to create code for computer programs, rather, we would use this to represent truth values, and use it in operation. 

Remember: The value of 1 is True, and the value of 0 is False.
