What Is a Binary Integer?
The binary system is a kind of number system that uses a simplified notation to reduce our modern counting to only the integers one and zero. A binary integer is one of these ones and zeros that make up a binary string, and is a whole number. It is used within what some call a “base-2” system, in contrast to the counting system that the modern world commonly uses, called “base-10” because it uses ten as a specific unit for the construction of larger integers. The base-2 system just uses the one and zero, so one is the “top number” for this system.
