: I know that bits are 01010101 or 00000001 or 10101100 but what happens if we make 00101002
: with 0+1+2 instead of 0+1
eh... that's not how bits work at all.
The intel bit system, anyway, works like so:
the rightmost bit is worth 2^0, the second rightmost is worth 2^1, the third rightmost is worth 2^2, and so on. And that makes
01010101 = 2^0 + 2^2 + 2^4 + 2^6 = 1 + 4 + 16 + 64 = 85
00000001 = 2^0 = 1
10101100 = 2^2 + 2^3 + 2^5 + 2^8 = 4 + 8 + 32 + 128 = 172
and if you didn't know, the system is based on the on/off system, where there can only be two states (obviously), on or off, 1 or 0, so what are you really suggesting?
