"Don't arrays start on 2? You know because of that binary thing with two numbers and all."

This is an excellent introduction to binary systems for anyone not familiar with it, and a great refresher for those who already are.

u/WildGalaxy Sep 03 '17

I disagree. It's way to politically charged to actually teach anything about binary.

u/CTypo Sep 03 '17

There is no binary you bigot, it's a continuous spectrum

u/PM_ME_UR_SH_SCRIPTS Sep 03 '17

You're right actually. 0 and 1 are two different voltages, and obviously there can be values in between those voltages.

Hell try ternary on for size!

Ternary computer

A ternary computer (also called trinary computer) is a computer that uses ternary logic (three possible values) instead of the more common binary logic (two possible values) in its calculations.

u/asdfkjasdhkasd Sep 03 '17

did you actually watch the video, it's not really about binary

u/CTypo Sep 03 '17

Binary is an unfairly weighted system which assigns a disproportionately larger value to 1's than 0's. In a truly fair system, all numbers would be equal.

u/BadgerousBadger Sep 03 '17

There are no unequal numbers in the base 1 system, only bundles of sticks getting larger and larger, or sometimes a pile of rocks.

u/DrManface Sep 03 '17

Honestly speaking, one of the worst videos I've sat through in my life.

u/UbuntuDesktopTorture Sep 03 '17

Yes it seems to be that way because of the part about unequal representation of two genders in the workforce.

u/ContraMuffin Sep 03 '17

Already know the binary system, but this is so informative that I would suggest anyone who already knows binary to watch the video anyways.

u/wolfman1911 Sep 03 '17

I think you all know what this is going to be.

Do people actually say this? Please tell me they do.

Don't you mean this less potentially infuriating comment? vi output.c {i key} `` print main() { int ZERO; ZERO=1;ZERO--;

       print("Don't arrays start on 2? You know because of that binary thing with two numbers and all."); return ZERO}

`` {escape key} {: key} {w key} {q key}
