i wrote a little something about learning binary numbers and...this is what happened in angelic.
“Hm, lets say, you have interpreter that has memory of space of one byte….and one byte equals?”
“8 bits.”
“Perfect. Your 2 can be represented as just 10, isn’t it? But since your memory space is hungry to fill all of it’s space, you just fill it with zeroes. That way, your memory space is filled, and your number still retains the same value. Just look at it, you add n number of zeroes before the ‘10’ and it still is the same value.”
“Yes, that makes sense.” he said. “Similarly, 3 is 011, same case, but just look at it, if you combine 1 and 0, you barely get four number combinations. That is 00, 01, 10 and 11. When you run out of two digit combination, you move to three digit combinations. Hence, we have our first three digit combination — 100 or 4 in decimal.”
“Ahhhhhhhhh.” he dragged in realisation. Angela let go of her urge to hide her smile and smiled without hesitation. “Like wise, we have three digit combinations that represent some number and when you run out of those, you move to four digit combination.”
“Whoaaaaaaaa, that’s so cool.” he celebrated.
“Oh dear god.” Angela said. “You humble me so much, darling.” she said, raising her hand over his cheek. She leant forward, while he was still in his binary haze, and kissed his cheek. He was shocked, his smile dropped. He observed her up closely, her eyes moved to his lips, and before his switches turned on, her lips were already over his.
