Why do binary notations have 8 digits when 7 would suffice? This is so that every computer understands the message and knows how to compose it well. A string of eight bits in a row is a standard unit of information and is called a byte.
1 byte = 8 bits
With the help of one byte we can write a number in the range from 0 to 255 or encode one character from an ASCII table.
Decode the word hidden in this string.
It is the name of a German mathematician and philosopher who already in 1689 explained the advantages of the binary system in the work „Explanation of Binary Arithmetic“.
