Who counts from right to left?
Is this image mirrored?
You will be surprised to hear that this is how we read decimal numbers too
Even in decimal, the most-significant digit is to the left. Binary in text form is no exception to this.
Unless we are talking little-endian, which would start with the least-significant bit.
Anyone who opens their egg on the small end deserves to be removed from our society.
Now that you mention it it is pretty fucky, but in every textbook thats tried to teach me counting in binary its gone from right to left.
It’s not. Numbers are arranged (both binary and base 10) with the most significant digit on the left.
Whether you read the number from left to right or right to left is irrelevant and you can choose whichever one you want.
But it is completely consistent with base 10 (normal numbers).
Binary is always right to left? I’ve never seen it written left to right at least.
There are 3 leading “zeros”
Which would be ommited if they were on the end, so this reads 136
The people saying right to left is normal are either Australian or mirror universe folks.
At least I thought that until I looked up ascii conversations and then just random converters … How have I forgotten this? The pic is right…
Cakes have multiple sides, you can have your bits in your chosen order if you turn up to the party in person
