Art of assembly

Most modern computer systems (including the IBM PC) operate using binary logic. The computer represents values using two voltage levels (usually 0v and +5v). With two such levels we can represent exactly two different values. These could be any two different values, but by convention we use the values zero and one. These two values, coincidentally, correspond to the two digits used by the binary numbering system. Since there is a correspondence between the logic levels used by the 80x86 and the two digits used in the binary numbering system, it should come as no surprise that the IBM PC employs the binary numbering system. The binary numbering system works just like the decimal numbering system, with two exceptions: binary only allows the digits 0 and 1 (rather than 0-9), and binary uses powers of two rather than powers of ten. Therefore, it is very easy to convert a binary number to decimal. For each "1" in the binary string, add in 2**n where "n" is the zero-based position of the binary digit.
