There are 10 kinds of people.

Those that understand binary, and those that can't.

why would a binary string begin with a "0" (reading from left to right of course)

Surely the first digit in binary is always "1"?

In physics to say that something measures 1 cm or 1.0 cm is different. It has to do with the accuracy we know something. Those are called significant figures.

Now they only work to the right and never to the left. 0009 cm is absolutely the same as 9 cm so I was only joking.
