| Why binary is represented by two bits 0 and 1 and not three bits? |
| << < (16/16) |

@Vtile: Agreed. Just because there are more than two outcomes, doesn't mean there are more than two states. As you say, most things in life are a chain of binary states ( NOT wine NOT beer NOT gin NOT NOT cider ). Even the CASE statement is just a posh way of saying: --- Code: ---IF NOT THIS ONE THEN GET THE NEXT ONE AND ITERATE --- End code --- If someone wants ( NOT any of this ), then the state falls out-of-scope but, is still a binary state; the question is either resolved or it is NOT resolved. Binary state is agnostic; it doesn't care if it's a voltage, a flux polarity or a whole constellation of phase angles. In fact binary state doesn't even care if it's a 0 or 1. Those are just our numbers. State just is or just isn't. What a load of Boolean. So is someone not going to bother to explain why they think this is wrong? |
