Question 1 • VA-Information Technology Fundamentals B

Why is it beneficial to convert to a decimal numbering system when working in a programming language?

Answer
A
Working in the binary number system makes it easier to spot incorrect numeric data values.
B
The decimal number system is easier to read and understand.
C
The decimal number system takes up less space.
D
The decimal number system stores numbers in bits.

Explanation

Decimal numbers use familiar digits from 0 to 9, so people can read and understand them more easily than binary strings of 0s and 1s. Computers may store values in binary, but converting them to decimal makes those values easier for programmers to interpret. Decimal does not necessarily take up less space, and binary is the system represented directly in bits.
