What is a Number System in Computer Science?
A number system is a way to represent numbers using a consistent set of digits or symbols. In computers, data is stored and processed using the binary number system. Other number systems like octal and hexadecimal help in compact representation of binary numbers and are frequently used in memory addressing, programming, and networking.
🔧 Conversions Explained with Easy Examples:
✔ Binary to Decimal ➝ e.g., 1010 → 10
✔ Decimal to Binary ➝ e.g., 25 → 11001
✔ Decimal to Octal ➝ e.g., 64 → 100
✔ Octal to Decimal ➝ e.g., 157 → 111
✔ Decimal to Hexadecimal ➝ e.g., 255 → FF
✔ Hexadecimal to Decimal ➝ e.g., 2A → 42
🧠 Tricks and Tips:
Learn divide-by-2, divide-by-8, and divide-by-16 methods
Practice positional value method for all conversions
Use hex digit mapping table (0–9 and A–F)
Understand the importance of MSB and LSB
Common patterns and bit representation used in computer memory
📓 Use Cases of Number Systems in Real Life:
Programming languages (C, C++, Java, Python)
Network addressing (IP addresses in hexadecimal)
Microprocessors and Embedded Systems
Web color codes (Hexadecimal codes like #FF5733)
File permissions in Linux (Octal format: 755)
Assembly language and low-level programming
