Line 7:
Even though all modern computer data is binary in nature, and therefore, can be represented as binary, other [[numerical base]]s are usually used. [[Power of 2]] bases (including [[hexadecimal |hex]] and [[octal]]) are sometimes considered binary code since their power-of-2 nature makes them inherently linked to binary. [[Decimal]] is, of course, a commonly used representation. For example, ASCII characters are often represented as either decimal or hex. Some types of data such as [[image]] data is sometimes represented as hex, but rarely as decimal.
