How to convert text into Binary

This fantastic chart comes from today's guest blogger, Liam McSherry.

In Liam's words...

=============================

If anyone wants to know how to convert text into a series of binary digits, I quickly made this little graphic.

Note that this sort of system applies to all radices as a way of converting to them, with the divisor "2" changed to the value of the radix.

This is on the topic of the blog article, Text to Binary Converter - Small Basic Featured Program.

Thanks to Liam for this cool diagram!

Enjoy!

  And how exactly does 1 divided by 2 have a remainder of 0?

  @confused 65 divided by 2 is 32 with a remainder of 1, so 32 times 2 plus 1 equals 65 and  1 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 1 because you multiply 0 by 2 plus 1 you get 1
