Ok i started about 5 mins ago and i know the basics
01001110 01100010 0010111
     78              98            23

But i want to know how to convert those numbers into text.

I also want to know how to make numbers like 1000,10000,1000000,etc.

Thanks in advanced.

To convert binary into text all you do is reference it to an ASCII, UNICODE sheet, etc. All letters are really just numbers.

As for making numbers like that, you just make the binary representation of it… It's no different then what you are doing now, you can have more than 8 bits.

Either you translate it by looking at the ASCII table or other said tables or you use a converter. And about the 8 bit thing, if you study further into binary you will find why it is typically broken into 8 bits. (It has to do with memory cells) But if you are just making numbers in binary it can be of any length just as our number system (base 10) can be, where as binary is simply (base 2).

Hope this helps  :P

Oh totally forgot. Note that the 8 bits is 1 byte
