6. Converting Binary to Denary Without a Table
Binary isn’t often set out in a neat table and you may see it in the following format:
You can convert the number in the same way but will have to add the column headings yourself:
10101 16 8 4 2 1 = 21

7. Convert Binary to Denary Without a Table16 8 4 2 1 = 18 32 16 8 4 2 1 = 59 32 16 8 4 2 1 = 62

8. Converting Denary into Binary
Write down the column headings for the binary number:
Take each column from left to right.
If the denary number to be converted is greater than or equal to the column heading, place a 1 in the column and subtract the value of the column from the denary value.
If the denary value is smaller than the column heading, place a 0 in the column. 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

9. Converting Denary to Binary
For example to convert the number 29 write the column headings: 32 16 8 4 2 1
29 is less than 32 so put a 32 in the first column.

10. Converting Denary to Binary
For example to convert the number 29 write the column headings: 32 16 8 4 2 1 1
29 is more than 16 so put a 1 in the 16 column and find out the remainder.
29 – 16 = 13

11. Converting Denary to Binary
For example to convert the number 29 write the column headings: 32 16 8 4 2 1 1 1
13 is more than 8 so put a 1 in the 8 column and find out the remainder.
13 – 8 = 5

12. Converting Denary to Binary
For example to convert the number 29 write the column headings: 32 16 8 4 2 1 1 1 1
5 is more than 4 so put a 1 in the 4 column and find out the remainder.
5 – 4 = 1

13. Converting Denary to Binary
For example to convert the number 29 write the column headings: 32 16 8 4 2 1 1 1 1
1 is less than 2 so put a 0 in the 2 column.

14. Converting Denary to Binary
For example to convert the number 29 write the column headings: 32 16 8 4 2 1 1 1 1 1
1 is equal to the 1 column so put a 1 in the 1 column. Add up the columns to check you have the correct answer. = 29

15. Convert the Denary Numbers into Binary32 16 8 4 2 1
54 – 32 = 22
54 = 1 1 1 1
22 – 16 = 6
6 – 4 = 2
2 – 2 = 0 = 54 32 16 8 4 2 1
25 = 1 1 1
25 – 16 = 9
9 – 8 = 1 = 25

16. Addition Rules for Binary
When adding with binary you need to remember certain rules: = = = = 10 (write down 0 and carry 1) = 11 (write down 1 and carry 1)

17. Adding with Binary
0 + 0 = 0
1 + 0 = 1
0 + 1 = 1
1 + 1 = 10
= 11 + 1 1
1 + 0 = 1 1
1 + 1 = 10 (carry the 1)
0 + 0 = 0
1 + 1 = 10 (carry the 1)

18. Adding with Binary
0 + 0 = 0
1 + 0 = 1
0 + 1 = 1
1 + 1 = 10
= 11 + 1 1 1
0 + 0 = 0 1
= 11 (carry the 1)
0 + 1 = 1
1 + 1 = 10 (carry the 1)

19. 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 + Adding with Binary 1 1 1 0 + 0 = 0 1 + 0 = 1
0 + 1 = 1
1 + 1 = 10
= 11
=100 +
1 1 0 1 1 1 1

20. Checking your Calculations
You can check your binary calculations are correct by converting all the numbers to denary and then performing the sum in denary. Complete the sum below as usual and then check the answer by converting it to denary.
= 13 +
1 1 0
= 19
2 + 4 = 6 1 1 1
= 19 1

21. Adding binary numbers + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1

22. IDLE
When you start Python's built-in IDLE, you'll get an interpreter window first.
This is for trying code out immediately.
You'll see this prompt:
>>>
As long as the version you are using starts with 3, everything should work fine.
To write a program, choose:
File > New Window.
Then you'll see this type of window (no prompt).

23. Mathematical Operators
Asterisk means “times”.
Forward slash means “divide”.
Double forward slash means “integer divide”.
Double asterisk means “to the power of”.
The percent sign gives you the remainder from doing the division.
Walk through examples to see what happens and write operators in book.

24. Some more operators We use “==” to check if two things are the same.
When we ask Python if 2 equals 3, it replies “False”.
We use “!=” to check if they are not equal.
Less than & less than or equal to.
Greater than and greater than or equal to.
Get students to copy operators into their exercise books

25. Know the basic data types
String “hello”
Integer 13
Float
Boolean True / False OR AND NOT

26. Program error correction
print(“Hello everybody.”)
name =int(input(“What is your name?”))
age = int(input(“What is your age?”))
print(“Your name is ”,name, “and your age is”, age, “.)

29. Concatenate a string
Strings can be joined to other variables using a (, ) comma
Now try exercise two
OR use a FUNCTION to convert the variable to a string
Function should only be shown to higher ability ( )

30. IF statements
Computer programmers can make programs that are so intelligent they can make decisions which can have a direct bearing on our lives;
Critical systems such as computers on planes must react to conditions;
OR simple programs like a login for a computer.
By having a program structure that uses the comparative operator IF
and
Else
This can give us a choice like a decision in a flowchart.

31. IF statement syntax What is syntax?
Syntax is the formal structure of program statements, like grammar.
This is how a program would be written in PSEUDO code
Pseudo code is the program written in a form close to English but it is not programming code.
IF a > b
Do something
ELSE a < b
Do something else

32. A simple IF program Pseudocode IF a > b Do something ELSE a < b
If a is greater than b (>)
else a is less than b (<)
elif

33. A simple IF program
This is the output to the program

34. The syntax explained What are a and b examples of?
What is the output (print statements) an example of?
What are the key words in purple examples of?
What does the writing in red do?
What do you think the purpose of the colon is?
The syntax explained
Input the two variables
Note the colon
Print if a is the biggest
Print if a is the smallest

35. Spot the errors

36. Program error correction
Correct this program so it will run without syntax errors.
Remember that:
capital letters or lower case letters are important. They must be right.
Think about if the data types are correct.
Make sure that the number of brackets are even, two or four.
Print(“Hello everybody.”)
name = int(input(“What is your name?”))
age = int(input(“What is your age?”)
print(“Your name is ”,name, “and your age is”, age, “.
