If your goal is to get the following three concepts into the minds of a large group of people...
- Binary Arithmetic
- Boolean Algebra
- Hexadecimal Arithmetic
...In what order would you present the concepts ?
(That list is in alphabetical order to prevent any implied bias)
Why do you feel that your chosen sequence makes more sense than others ?
|
|
|
|
|
Boolean algebra is probably the easiest for people to grasp, as you can use real world examples:
IF it_is_raining
WEAR waterproof
ELSE
WEAR t-shirt
ENDIF
Binary and HEX (or any other base) are especially challenging for people whose mathematical abilies may not be very high. I tried to explain both of those to someone once but they just could not get it.

|
|
|
|
I hesitate to post a non-KSS counter-argument to your example.

Read up on number theory

Why, I fully understand numbering systems and have done for almost 60 years.

I wasnβt suggesting you learn it Richard Iβm sure you know it better than most

Sorry, I guess I misunderstood.
|
|
|
|
|
I doubt that is useful.
"Number theory", at best, covers quite a bit more than what was actually asked for. So attempting to answer the original question with that is not a good idea.
|
|
|
|
|
I agree but it gives you some very useful knowledge

Base-12 -- with eggs. 12 eggs to a box, 12 boxes to a case...
Just don't grind them up.

That's just gross.

"You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him." - James D. Miles

The order in which they came historically. That would be the preferred logical order, i believe. Will give an opportunity to provide a logical motivation to the next topic.

Charles Petzold explains these in his fantastic book, Code: The Hidden Language of Computers[^] (now, 2nd updated edition)
Here's a helpful -- and free -- resource from the book --[^] really cool interactive code.
1. He explains Binary first using : 1 if by sea, 2 if by land.
(Yes, he explains that the absence of any lantern (off) would normally indicate a value but since no-light could happen in normal circumstances you have to use 2 lanterns).
He explains the entire on/off concept very clearly.
2. He then introduces George Bool and Boolean algebra
3. Then later he teaches Hex math.
I think his system of building on basics works very well.
if you haven't read his amazing book, I highly suggest it.
Great concepts explained simply.

+5 for Petzold.
Great book. Also his Annotated Turing.
