/Binary Arithmetic: Not Again/

Binary. We meet again.

As I've mentioned in my last week's post, I was never friends with number systems, let alone binary number system. And ta-da! To my surprise, binary numbers cannot only be converted to other number systems but can also be added or subtracted. As Ma'am noted, if we are to begin or terminate a process in our computers, the CPU should add or subtract binary numbers to execute the process (I am currently punching keys right now, and this requires adding binary numbers. It's just awe-some how adding or subtracting binary numbers translate to what we see on the screen, isn't it?)

Compared to converting it to other number systems, binary arithmetic was not that difficult. I also enjoyed it more because the activity was by partner and not by group in some form of an intra-lab quiz con. Ha-ha.

However, when it came to checking my answers, I got a little confused. After arriving at  final answers, I was not complementing it so I thought that they were incorrect. I was just thankful that my partner had the presence of mind to remind me of the right process of checking it. After which, we left in peace.

I hope we got a perfect score.
