Dotted decimal is well suited to representing IPv4 addresses; its 32 bits are broken up into four 8-bit octets, and then each of those octets are written in their decimal equivalent –some ...

Decimal notation describes numbers using the digits 1 through 10. Binary notation describes them using just two digits, 1 and 0, where each bit in a string represents a power of 2. The right-most ...

I’ll now conclude this series with a detailed look at IPv6 addressing conventions. IPv4 addresses, which use dotted decimal notation, are fairly easy to remember.

This format is knows as the “dotted decimal notation”. Applications use struct in_addr to store the binary representation of an IP address. Struct in_addr is declared in the header as follows: ...

I suspect, however, that if we had always been as familiar with the binary system of arithmetic as we are with the decimal, that the facilities afforded by a numerical system of notation of ...

While adding up your grocery bill in the supermarket, you’re probably not thinking how important or sophisticated our number system is. But the discovery of the present system, by unknown ...
