As a engineering student this video was nothing new for me but your way of explaining is really easy to understand.

i did not expect to learn what binary is in this video... i did not even know how to look it up... thanks for the information, i can use this in so many ways

my mind if blown, i had no idea how used to base 10 i was untill i watched this and learned the secrets to the universe thank you Mat

[@vladyslavkryvoruchko]

Im so excited for thoose series! PS: You are explaining everything so much more clear than in the older series. Keep up with your great work!

[@REDHOTFANG]

Great explanation. Wish I was taught like this back in my engineering classes. I never actually thought about how redstone signal strength would convert so easily to hexadecimal. it was so obvious. I feel stupid.

[@mgmn6102]

Very well explained, idk why nobody else does such a series

[@LordBrainz]

Many people know about It, but few know how to explain well

[@mgmn6102]

@@LordBrainz i know about it but i didnt know like 1 or 2 small things and i dont hav mc anymore, gotta buy a new account

I'm having my exam in 2 weeks, and your video really helped me revise my knowledge in such relaxed way. Thanks!

[@timjrz]

8:03 hexadecimal numbers are often used to represent long binary numbers like ip or mac addresses so that the user can have a better overview. They dont have a true technical position, but are just nice to have.

[@ElNeroDiablo]

Aye, IPv6 addresses are 8 Bytes rendered in Hex, IPv4 addresses are 4 Bytes rendered in Decimal (the classic IPv4 address for a consumer-grade modem-router is 192.168.x.1 where x = 0 or 8, and leading 0's to fill out the 3-digit spaces are often implied but sometimes mandatory depending on the program/OS working with), and MAC addresses are (currently) 6 Bytes rendered in Hex (this might change in the future). Can ya tell I have spent a LONG time working with computers and setting up LANs? XD

[@timjrz]

@@ElNeroDiablo yeah, now imagine if you had to type every 0 and 1 manually xD

[@Tharun-wk6rj]

IPV6 is 16 bytes bro@@ElNeroDiablo

[@arthur1112132]

8:20 This is less usefull than with Hex, but you can actually apply this trick to any base that is a power of 2 by grouping the binary digits in groups of the final base's exponent. For hex, as shown, you do groups of 4 because 16 is 2^4 For base 64 it would become groups of 6 because 64 is 2^6 for binary to base 8 you do groups of 3 (2^3 = 8) to base 4 it's groups of 2 (2^2 = 4) and finally if you stay in binary (base 2), you effectively make groups of 1 digits which doesn't change anything (2^1 = 2)

[@BobTheJoe626]

What the hell are you saying 😂

[@arthur1112132]

@@BobTheJoe626 A generalisation of the method he shows in the video, to convert between binary and Hex. This rule is valid when converting between binary and any other base that is a power of 2, just by doing groups of different size. The size being the exponent of the base.

[@typoxz4838]

​@@arthur1112132thx bro

[@i3ootman430]

I love how you explain basic digital math like... on blocky digits xD This is so cool dude! Actually your lessons are way more clear than in school where there is just base 10 and base 2 and just cope with it yourself :/

[@emrouse02]

When this series matures, I already know I'll be recommending it to IT newcomers. You have explained more about the two number systems than the college professor taught me in a few days.

[@Alex-Sw]

Just want to say your explanation of binary and hex was great, I had a small understanding but now I fully grasp the concepts! Thanks!

[@keiretsu1]

Awesome! Can't wait for more episodes. Really enjoying the remade series :)

[@hygienicturtle]

agreed

[@YayzayMc]

that was 3 days ago

Wtf

[@ChrishyChrishShorts]

I’m learning normal redstone and this is still helping me. Thanks.

[@Cowboy14Clips]

This is insane, people think Redstone is a bunch of wires in a silly block game, but it is some much more than that! It takes real knowledge to make this stuff!

[@wKraw]

HOLY SHIT THAT SO EASY! I have computer science class and one time our home work was to convert base 10 numbers to base 16 and binary, and i kinda understood how it works, but your explanation made it SOOOO much easier lol thanks

[@DaghaNotJamal]

I WAS SEARCHING ABOUT BINARY CODE FOR AN HOUR AND FINALLY I SEE THIS VIDEO, THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@Yash1952]

Your way of explaining is so awesome! I am so excited to learn redstone, without this, i didn't even know that redstone had a power signal of 15.

[@Abdulkadir-yq2vm]

This series is getting so amazing

[@cbuc1111]

Thanks for you continuing to make this series, and don't leaving it on first episode!

[@notcardi]

i want to learn every element of redstone, not knowing much about it right now and your series on this seems really great so far! i didnt really know how binary worked because i never really understood it but now i do and its so useful! ty

[@scaffus]

5minutes into the video just summarized 4h of class, damn, you're good

[@powerofanime1]

I knew of Base 12, Base 60 and Binary but not what made them distinct from Decimal. Hexadecimal is something I genuinely hadn't heard of. This taught me a lot more than just Redstone!

[@LyricNear]

Absolutely the simplest and best explanation for binary and hexadecimal I've watched

[@amyhughes2149]

This is such a lovely explanation of binary and hex systems! I feel like I properly understand them now

[@Gzussss]

The first series was amazing. I'm so excited for this one.

[@aidankelsey2731]

Wow. I knew about different number systems but this was by far the simplest explanation. Your awesome.

[@ActuallyVernity]

Like i was watching my sir teaching me what is binary and i didnt understand. Like i want him to be my teacher. Keep up the good work man

[@kiss6917]

I started getting interested in redstone computing myself after learning about circuit analysis, and building physical logic gates in engineering classes. This is so fun and I love everything you put into these videos

[@PeppermintOSC]

this series is great so far, keep it up!!

[@floris2872]

Great explanation! I already made a simple 5 bit counter in binary after watching the last video in this series, thanks for the inspiration! 😁

[@ChadDeveloper]

As a software engineer, I'd say this is just like a programming language. I watched the series and came back to see where I just started

[@xylul1648]

6:57 i saw that "0 to 255", and RGB values instantly made so much more sense to me. this is fun :)

[@Rauster_]

Thanks for these clear expectations!

[@darrenmitchell183]

I never had a problem wrapping my head around the concepts behind the old series, but this is definitely a lot simpler and easy to understand.

[@ThomasDemonte-fb6jj]

I love this series

[@outofexp]

nearly 20 years ago i was struggling in university (studying music tech) because I couldn't wrap my head around hexadecimal coding.. I cannot explain how easy you've just made that for me :')

[@wassup.]

I love you matt you're the only person that made me able to do binary to numbers mentally

[@oceonfire_]

what an amazing guide! i understood how binary worked but i’d never linked it to base 10

[@ElNeroDiablo]

Not only is an 8-bit number (256 values, from 0 to 255 in Decimal, 00 to FF in Hexadecimal) a Byte when using Binary, a 4-bit Binary number (16 values, 0-15 in Decimal. or 1 bit of Hexadecimal, 0-F) is called a Nybble. And a geeky party trick I've loved to pull since I was a young teen (so over 20 years now) has been asking people how high they can count on the natural 10 digits of their hands - most people answer with just "10" (working in Decimal as they're taught in school) as they only extend each digit as they count up, and are surprised when I tell them that starting from 0 they can count to Dec 1023 (or 11111 11111 in Binary), for a total value of 1024 numbers, as they extend a digit as they reach it's value (left-to-right of 512-256-128-64-32-16-8-4-2-1) whilst curling in the digits to the right of the one they extended.

[@VeryCoolMinecraftGamer00]

Ao just started 9th grade informatics, and you just explained the first 4 months of it in 9 minutes and 27 seconds better than my teacher

[@SPEXWISE]

I learned something new from this video. I now understand Hexadecimal. Simpler than I thought. Thanks.

[@ThunderFound]

Finally! Please drop series more often :D

[@hexandcube]

I think this is the best explanation of number systems I've ever seen.

[@Wa1kingR3dston3]

Nice work man!

[@hyper_cronics5999]

Omg in csp I was struggling to figure out hexadecimal and how to convert it by hand. You just help me understand. Thanks!!😁😁

[@samuelhulme8347]

I already knew this, but that was a perfect explanation!

[@martitoto9715]

i love you! keep doing this your really helping us and not only at redstone!

[@chamoischamois]

the trick at the end was the only thing I didn't know but it was well worth watching the whole vid for it!

[@Purrza]

My friend requested me these vids for building my first redstone computer and i bet you by the end of it its gonna be great!

[@DylanPopeBooze]

This guy just made me understand binary in 6 minutes, while the IT study I followed for a year failed to do so at all!

[@mystiiify]

This was a cool revision for my studies too.

[@Clement2005]

even for a computer science student, beeing familiar with different number systems, this was still a great video to watch ! u explained it better than my teacher 😂

[@definitlyarealperson7041]

Amazing video!

[@immeyadventures]

Your video keep upgarding they are so good, i loved so much the logical redstone serie, and i lalready love logical redstone reloaded ❤❤❤

[@vaibhavmaheshwari8924]

Great content very high quality!!!!!

[@sdfmnb2314]

this one wasn't discussing a lot about redstone, but it's really useful!

[@javierchust1618]

I can’t wait for the next episode!!

[@mateuszszulecki5206]

One way to understand what number a letter digit represents in hexadecimal is to just think; the letter's numerical value (A=1, B=2, C=3 etc.) plus 9. For example, D's numerical value is 4, so add 4 to 9 and you get 13, so D in base 16 is 13.

[@omayoperations8423]

This is a very large improvement to the last already, in my opinion. Matt is explaining this in a much more general way, so the video is easier to apply to other situations.

[@notquiteaspect]

Ep 2 lesgoo

[@AcornGroove8274]

You really explain it well! Thanks!

[@omayoperations8423]

Mattbatwings is definitely my favorite minecraft redstone KZbinr. I've been doing some computer science for a while, and knew all of this, but the video was enjoyable to watch nonetheless.

[@Thensi72]

This is more a number system/computer science video but in minecraft than a redstone tutorial, and i already knew about binary and hex but this is still cool and was entertaining.(also i didn't know how you would do hex with redstone(from the desccription) until you said the signal streangth which is cool, i had wondered about hex with redstone when i saw this videdo though)

[@sinaxes5250]

I studied the binary and the hexadecimal systems In the last year...So I find this video as a review of what I studied previously and I like it

[@phoenixmg-kn7eh]

I love this series i am learning so much from these video's

[@ExtremlycoolskeletonGaming]

Thank you bro this is a great video i could never understand binary numbers until now, you made it perfeclty clear

[@verizonextron]

LETS GOO LRR EPISODE 2, also nice early

[@avon9108]

Next time I fly ill be re-watching all of these so I can get good at Redstone Thank you sm for such a good explanation!

[@thatsfsguy3609]

Nice, I love numbers bro

[@AnimatedPlayer]

Did this man just teach me binary system in a video game tutorial? Bh tpd, binary makes sense now

[@arturmg2068]

Very cool video!

[@mr.electron5589]

Great work man

[@vaguedestruction]

Thank you for making this video so that if I saw it a few years ago I might actually understand it and the number base thing even if I didn't know it already

[@braydenmchan]

Although I know this stuff already, I just happened to click on your video because I like the content you make and the quality that's put into it. What I didn't expect to learn is the binary to hex conversation step that you showed at the end! I used to always just convert to decimal and then to hex 😂

[@REDHOTFANG]

You can do it with any power of 2. Groups of 1 for binary to binary(useless tbf) Groups of 2 for base4 Groups of 3 for Octal 4 for hex, 5 for base32 and so on.

[@scratchharry]

YAYAYYYAY EPISODE 2!

[@HomieSeal]

Damn that binary to hex method is so cool!

[@user-ws8bb8ii4n]

yay, another video!

[@dandywallaby3992]

bro I litteraly said "if there where a video like that" and your video just poped up

[@Arnoldismouldy]

Unironically a better explanation of binary than my CS teacher at school

[@mani_mincraft]

The last thing you said was amazing! that’s why we represent colors in 8 bit numbers or I’m hex!

[@Empeg_]

I learnt about this in my computer science class recently! so cool

[@Gandhi_Physique]

A very good explanation. The only improvement would be explaining what variable "n" is, as some may not be aware of variables yet. Great series so far, time to watch ep 3

[@exio2875]

[@cathacker13]

I had a somewhat alright understanding of how different number bases worked before watching this video, but i still had issues with them because there were certain aspects that weren't really explained to me properly/I didn't understand, somehow this minecraft redstone tutorial made it finally click for me thank you

[@therealloganyt237]

Bro's probably the best KZbinr at explaining redstone.

[@Heyght]

Matt is tricking us into learning math again

[@eithngg7727]
