Binary Basics
What is Binary
Binary is a counting system with base 2, using only the digits 0 and 1 to represent all values. In computer science, binary is the fundamental representation of information because computer electronic components can only recognize two states (on/off or high/low voltage).
Each 0 or 1 is called a bit, and 8 bits form a byte, which is the basic unit of computer storage.
Binary Application Scenarios
- Internal computer data storage and processing
- Network data transmission
- Storage of multimedia files such as images, audio, and video
- Encryption algorithms and secure communications
- Digital circuit design
- File format analysis and reverse engineering
Binary and Text Conversion Principles
Text to binary conversion is typically achieved through character encoding tables (such as ASCII, UTF-8):
- Each character corresponds to a unique numerical value in the encoding table
- This numerical value is converted to an 8-bit binary representation
- The binary representations of all characters are combined to form complete binary data
- Binary to text is the reverse operation of this process
Binary File Characteristics
Main Characteristics
- Bit sequences consisting of 0s and 1s
- Directly reflects internal computer data format
- Usually more compact than text representation
- Requires specific programs for correct parsing and display
Common Binary File Types
- Image files: JPG, PNG, GIF
- Audio files: MP3, WAV
- Video files: MP4, AVI
- Executable files: EXE, DLL
- Compressed files: ZIP, RAR
Binary Operation Examples
Here is a simple example of text and binary conversion:
| 字符 | ASCII值 | 二进制表示 |
|---|---|---|
| A | 65 | 01000001 |
| B | 66 | 01000010 |
| C | 67 | 01000011 |
| 1 | 49 | 00110001 |
| Space | 32 | 00100000 |
Pros and Cons of Binary File Processing
Advantages
- Provides direct access to the original file data
- Allows for precise data recovery and analysis
- Supports processing various types of file formats
- Facilitates data conversion and format transformation
Disadvantages
- Binary data has poor readability and is not easy to understand directly
- Less efficient when processing large files
- Requires attention to character encoding settings to avoid garbled text
- Binary to text conversion significantly increases file size
