BINARY NOTATION

1. Any notation that uses two different characters, usually the digits 0 and 1. Note: Data encoded in binary notation need not be in the form of a pure binary numeration system ; e.g., they may be represented by a Gray code . 2. A scheme for representing numbers, which scheme is characterized by the arrangements of digits in sequence , with the understanding that successive digits are interpreted as coefficients of successive powers of base 2.
