Binary code

A binary code represents text or computer processor instructions using the binary number system's two binary digits, 0 and 1. The binary code assigns a bit string to each symbol or instruction. For example, a binary string of eight binary digits ( bits) can represent any of 256 possible values and can therefore correspond to a variety of different symbols, letters or instructions.

In computing and telecommunications, binary codes are used for various methods of encoding data, such as character strings, into bit strings. Those methods may use fixed-width or variable-width strings. In a fixed-width binary code, each letter, digit, or other character is represented by a bit string of the same length; that bit string, interpreted as a binary number, is usually displayed in code tables in octal, decimal or hexadecimal notation. There are many character sets and many character encodings for them.

A bit string, interpreted as a binary number, can be translated into a decimal number. For example, the lower case a, if represented by the bit string 01100001 (as it is in the standard ASCII code), can also be represented as the decimal number 97.

Binary Code (band)

Binary Code is an American Progressive Metal band formed in Bergen County, New Jersey in 2004 by founding member Jesse Zuretti.

In 2009, the band teamed up with Metalsucks.net to release their debut full-length "Suspension of Disbelief". The album was well received with several metal and rock magazines, as well as many internet metal websites.

After their tour with Revocation in 2010, the band wrote an EP which they self-recorded (engineered by Paul Cutri and guitarist Jesse Zuretti), "Priest", which yet again, was well received.

Binary Code recently released 'Moonsblood' independently, which has received favorable acclaim. The album was recorded by Eyal Levi (the Black Dahlia Murder, the Contortionist) at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida.
