Dewey decimal classification Dewey decimal system decimal system of classification | a system used by libraries to classify nonfictional publications into subject categories, the subject is indicated by a three-digit numeral and further specification is given by numerals following a decimal point, publications are shelved by number |
binary code | code using a string of binary digits to represent characters |
binary file | (computer science) a computer file containing machineeadable information that must be read by an application, characters use all bits of each byte |
binary binary program | a preompiled, pre-linked program that is ready to run under a given operating system, a binary for one operating system will not run on a different operating system, the same source code can be compiled to produce different binaries for different operating systems |
binary notation | any notation that uses characters (usually and ) |
binary numeration system pure binary numeration system binary number system binary system | a positional system of numeration that uses binary digits and a radix of two |
decimal notation | any notation that usesdifferent characters (usually the digits to ) |
decimal numeration system decimal number system decimal system | a positional system of numeration that uses decimal digits and a base of ten |
decimal point percentage point point | the dot at the left of a decimal fraction |
binary star binary double star | a system of two stars that revolve around each other under their mutual gravitation |
boolean operation binary operation binary arithmetic operation | an operation that follows the rules of Boolean algebra, each operand and the result take one of two values |
decimal | a number in the decimal system |
equivalent-binary-digit factor | the average number of binary digits needed to express one radix digit in a numeration system that is not binary, on the average a number that can be expressed in N decimal digits takes .N binary digits |
decimal fraction decimal | a proper fraction whose denominator is a power of |
circulating decimal recurring decimal repeating decimal | a decimal with a sequence of digits that repeats itself indefinitely |
binary digit | either or in binary notation |
decimal digit | a digit from to in decimal notation |
binary compound | chemical compound composed of only two elements |
decimal denary | numbered or proceeding by tens, based on ten, the decimal system |
binary | consisting of two (units or components or elements or terms), a binary star is a system in which two stars revolve around each other, a binary compound, the binary number system has two as its base |
binary | of or pertaining to a number system have as its base, a binary digit |
