The binary system is a way of representing numbers in base 2, i.e. using only the digits 0 and 1. While it is impractical for human use, it is the mainstay of modern computing.
To increment a binary number, follow this rule:
1. Current digit is the end digit 2. Change the current digit 3. If current digit = 1 4. Then: 4a.Shift current digits to away from the end digit 4b.Goto step 2 5: Else: 5a:You're done.
