Weighted Codes Weighted binary codes are those binary codes which obey the positional weight principle. Each position of the number represents a specific weight. Several systems of the codes are used to express the decimal digits 0 through 9. In these codes each decimal digit is represented by a group of four bits.

Binary Code

In the coding, when numbers, letters or words are represented by a specific group of symbols, it is said that the number, letter or word is being encoded. The group of symbols is called as a code. The digital data is represented, stored and transmitted as group of binary bits. This group is also called as  binary code . The binary code is represented by the number as well as alphanumeric letter. Advantages of Binary Code Following is the list of advantages that binary code offers. ·          Binary codes are suitable for the computer applications. ·          Binary codes are suitable for the digital communications. ·          Binary codes make the analysis and designing of digital circuits if we use the binary codes. ·          Since only 0 & 1 are being used, implementation becomes easy. Classification of binary codes The codes are broadly categorized into following four categories. ·          Weighted Codes ·          Non-Weighted Codes ·          Binary Cod
