Binary Number System

We humans use a decimal, or base-10, numbering system, presumably because people have 10 fingers

Early computers were designed around the decimal numbering system. This approach made the creation of computer logic capabilities unnecessarily complex and did not make efficient use of resources. (For example, 10 vacuum tubes were needed to represent one decimal digit.)

Story behind

To deal with the basic electronic states of on and off, Von Neumann suggested using the binary numbering system

Programming in Python

Python Interpreter

You write your Python code in a text file with a name like hello.py. How does that code Run?

There is program installed on your computer named "python3" or "python", and its job is looking at and running your Python code. This type of program is called an "interpreter".
