The decimal (base ten) numeral system has ten possible values (0,*,2,*,4,5,6,7,8, or *) for each place-value. In contrast, the binary (base two) numeral system has two possible values, often represented as 0 or *, for each place-value.
To avoid confusion while using different numeral systems, the base of each individual number may be specified by writing it as a subscript of the number. For example, the decimal number *56 may be written as *56*0 and read as "one hundred fifty-six, base ten". The binary number *00***00 may be specified as "base two" by writing it as *00***002.
Since the binary system is the internal language of electronic computers, serious computer programmers should understand how to convert from decimal to binary. Although, converting in the opposite direction, from binary to decimal, is often easier to learn first.
