A code which is used to express numbers on base 2, using 0's and 1's only.
Such a code permits the reduction of complex sequences of decisions to a succession of “yes/no” ones. It is based on Boolean logics and is perfectly fit for use in digital computers. It can be used in any type of operations corresponding to the third excluded logic.
