Today's episode of BaseCS continues our exploration into binary, and dives deeper into some of the ways to work with this counting system.

In this episode, we learn how to write and count when we only have two digits (0 and 1) to work with. Along the way, we also see how to convert between base 10, the counting system that we're all familiar with, and base 2, the number system for binary. We also do some math to prove how this conversion works under the hood!
