Binary is the basic number for all type of computer system. Because computer only knows these number & basically all of the task is completed through binary number system. Ans also it consists with only 2 numbers which is 0&1 so it's quite easier to the computer for understanding the program.

computer can only understand two types of voltage difference. and these represented by 0,1. and is is called binary system.
Computer just not only confined for understanding 0,1. To give computer many types of instruction, it important to know binary arithmetics.

All arithmetic operations inside the computer are done in binary form. For understanding this operation we must have to learn binary arithmetics. For example, for understanding 1's complement and 2's complement, we have to know binary addition and binary subtraction.

Binary is a base 2 number system. Base 2 means there are only two digits— 1 and 0 —which correspond to the on and off states our computer can understand. So the computer just understands these two numbers and hence, majority of the tasks are conducted through binary number system. As a result, binary arithmetic is way easier for a computer to understand than anything else.

Learning binary is not an end in and of itself. It is a means for understanding the fundamental concept

The computer can only read machine language which is a binary number system. Mainly when we run a program in a different language an assembler converts it as a machine language, then the computer read it. If we don't learn the binary number system then we can't understand how computers functions. And to know the 1's and 2's complement we need to know binary addition and subtraction. And the easiest way for a computer to run any program is the binary number system.

Arithmetic operations are done in computer in binary form. computer can only understand two types of voltage difference 0 and 1. Mainly it is called binary system. To give computer different type instructions it we have to know binary arithmetics. By taking instructions computer can run any program is the binary arithmetics.

students should still learn enough about binary numbers and floating point encoding so they know why floating-point arithmetic is inexact. If/when you do teach binary, teach them how to count on their fingers in binary.

Binary arithmetic is used in digital systems mainly because the numbers (decimal and floating-point numbers) stored in most computer systems are in binary format. And all arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are done in binary representation of numbers. Thus, it becomes quite obvious for a computer science major student. to learn binary arithmetic.

Binary is fundamental to programming. Because computer only knows 1& 0 number & basically all of the we do on a computer is done through binary number system.

Learning programming we need to know what is in the root of work. That is it 0, 1. So we need to learn binary arithmetic for better understanding program.

The binary number system is an alternative to the decimal (10-base) number system that we use every day. Binary numbers are important because using them instead of the decimal system simplifies the design of computers and related technologies. ... For example, decimal 2 looks like 10 in the binary system.
