What Is Brady H in Binary Digital Code?
Computers are fundamentally based upon the flow of electricity, which is either "on" or "off" and creates a binary system. For this reason, computers store and process binary data comprised of zeroes and ones. You can convert alphabetic characters to their binary-code equivalent representation using the ASCII standard for character coding.

Binary Code

Binary code has two symbols; in the digital world of computers, these symbols are called "bits" and represented as "0" or "1." The symbols indicate the status of electricity flowing through a transistor in a computer: "1" means it's on and "0" means it's off.
Decimal System
-
The decimal system has 10 valid digits, from zero to nine, and each digit represents a factor of 10, depending on its position in the number. For example, the number 153 represents one times 10 raised to the second power, plus five times 10 raised to the first power, plus three times 10 raised to the zero power.

Binary System
-
In a binary system, the two valid digits -- zero and one -- each represent a factor of two, depending on its position in the number. For example, the binary number 111 represents one times two raised to the second power, plus one times two raised to the first power, plus one times two raised to the zero power. This is equivalent to seven in the decimal system.
ASCII
-
The American Standard Code for Information Interchange, or ASCII, assigns a consistent set of numeric values to letters and numbers stored in computers, for easy exchange of information. It depicts characters using eight bits, called a byte, that represent the binary value of the ASCII code. For example, the letter "A" has a binary code of 01000001, or 65 in the decimal system.
"Brady H"
-
You can convert a name such as "Brady H" to binary digital code by combining the binary values of the ASCII character codes of each letter, and the space, which has a value of 32 in the decimal system. The name's binary digital code equivalent is 01000010010100100100000101000100010110010010000001001000.
