When we type some letters or words, the computer translates them in numbers as computers can understand only numbers. A computer can understand the positional number system where there are only a few symbols called digits and these symbols represent different values depending on the position they occupy in the number.

The value of each digit in a number can be determined using −

· The digit

· The position of the digit in the number

· The base of the number system (where the base is defined as the total number of digits available in the number system)

Number system is defined as a system of writing to express numbers. Normally, to represent numbers or alphabets in digital, we are using various number system such as binary(base 2 that is 0 and 1), octal(base 8 that is 0 to 7), decimal(base 10 that is 0 to 9) and hexa decimal(base 16 that is 0 to 9,a-f or A-F). To learn and work in digital computer system, it is must to learn about the number system and how to convert from one number system to another system. Example Decimal to binary, Decimal to octal and decimal to hexa number and vice versa.

The benefits of Number system

1. In Computer number system are built around the core process.

2. Helpful for digital encoding and decoding process.

3. Security application is being developed.

4. Useful in the application of computer architecture designing and engineering.

5. And also in the place of cryptography.

   
   

   You will learn the following concepts

   1. Introduction and types of number system

   2. Conversion from one number system to another system

   3. 8421 method

   4. Fractional point conversion

   5. Handson train sheet

So this course is helpful for all the computer streamline students and also all the academics.

Study and Enjoy learning!
