What Are Number Bases?
- Decimal (Base 10): The standard counting system humans use every day (0-9).
- Binary (Base 2): The language of computers. Every piece of data in a computer is ultimately stored as binary (0s and 1s).
- Hexadecimal (Base 16): A compact way to represent binary data. Used heavily in CSS color codes (#FF0000), memory addresses, and networking.
- Octal (Base 8): Used in Unix file permissions (e.g.,
chmod 755) and some legacy systems.
