Binary + Hex Bases (P1)

Question 1

What base is binary, and what does this mean for when we say how many integers can be represented in a piece of binary?

Answer 1

Binary is base 2. This means for example, if we look at a byte (which is 8 bits), we would know that we can represent 2^8 integers in this byte.

Question 2

What base is hex, and what does this mean for when we say how many integers can be represented in a piece of hex?

Answer 2

Base 16, same shi with binary but now the base is 16
