Definition of binary code

The Code Binary is a system of representation of word processors or instruction processors of a computer, which makes use of the binary system, while, the binary system is that numbering system that is used in the math and in the computingand in which the numbers are represented using only the digits zero and one (0 and 1).

Especially at the request of telecommunications and informatics this code is used with different methods of coding of data such as: character strings, bit strings, being able to be of fixed width or variable width.

Today's numbering systems are weighted, which means that each position in a sequence of digits will have a weight associated with it, while the binary system is in fact a numbering system of this type: weighted.

Another feature of this type of code is the continuity that makes the possible combinations of the code adjacent, that is, from any combination of the code to the next, only one bit will change (continuous code). And the code will be cyclical when the last combination is in turn adjacent to the first.

For their part, correcting error codes and detector error codes they suppose a solution very important and definitive to the problem of transmission data through electrical impulses, since there is a good amount of factors that can trigger a change in the electrical signal at a certain time, thus causing the error we mentioned.
