Jillyz, all numbers are some form of code:
THe numbers se normally use are based on the decimal system and combined from the single 10 symbols it is made of: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9).
When you write 1.234, e.g. you are combining those symbols to count, according to the digit, the number of 10 elevated to something, in this case the code means: 4* 10 elevated to 0 (any number elevated to 0 always is 1)= 4 plus 3* 10 elevated to 1 (30) plus 2* 10 elevated to 2 (200) plus 1* 10 elevated to 3 (1000), to make for a total of 1234. Here in a pic again (the number in the bracket is the number we are counting in the digit):
Now, the decimal system is not the only one, you can count in any system Two systems are used in the computer world, the hexadeciimal system (which uses the symbols 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F to describe numbers) and the binary system, which only uses the symbols 0 and 1 (it has shown to be quite practical, because you can represent numbers with electrical potential: 0 means no electricity, 1 means electricity).
in a binary system, as in the decimal, the digits count the number 2 elevated to something, according to the digit.
110 in this case would describe 0* 2elevated to 0 (0) plus 1* 2 elevated to 1 (2) plus 1* 2 elevated to 2 (4) for a total of 6.

Hope that helps,
