  1. I've not done this course but learnt binary ( and sadly never forgot it) at university. Each digit in the sequence represents a number that is (kind of) sequentially the double of the previous. Therefore going from right to left the numbers are when set to 1: etc 32,16,8,4,2,1 your 1 appears at the 4th from the right position making it equal to 8.

Thank you so much for the explanation, that's so helpful, short and easy to remember.

I just simply don't get it, i just can't

I also didn't full understand untill I came across this post they explain it very well " https://teamtreehouse.com/community/what-number-is-represented-by-the-byte-00000111 "
