Sketches for code portion of site:

This section of chapters was fairly explicit in describing why we use binary numbers for coding, and stressed the vast amount of information that they encompass. I thought it was interesting how the reason we use a number system based on the power of 10 because it was developed based on the number of fingers we have, and that if we were to base our number system on 4 or 2, we would get the same value for binary numbers. After reading these chapters, I got a better understanding as to why we use bits in computer systems and the large amount of information that it can convey.
