I think you can't instead make use of some programming language and compiler or write a batch file. A hex editor would kinda work. There won't be any comfortable option though There is no value to writing software this way or learning to write software this way.
But there is a point, and that's learning. Regardless of how much difference it'll actually make in any real-life scenario, it's a great learning experience. For example, I wrote a programming language just so it could have a crappier syntax than Lisp, and I gained extensive knowledge about interpreters. It's all about gaining knowledge. Add a comment.

Stack Gives Back To view binary data, it offers various modes like UTF-8, UTF to toggle between little and big-endian , hexadecimal mode , etc.
Similar to viewing features, it also offers some useful binary data editing tools which you can easily use. After editing, you can save the binary file data in the same BIN file or Hexadecimal file format. In this editor, you can view binary data in hexadecimal format that you can easily edit. Plus, it uses different color profiles to highlight different binary data values. After viewing and editing, you can save the binary file data in both hexadecimal and binary file format.
This BIN file editor is another good software that you can try if you want to edit the binary or hexadecimal data. As its name implies, it is primarily a HEX editor software, still, it allows you to view and edit binary file data. Like other similar hex editors, it also shows binary data in hexadecimal format. It works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is a unique BIN editor software in which you cannot only view and edit binary data but also visualize its structure.
It is a Java-based software and it needs Java software to work. It is similar to many other BIN editors in which you can view and edit both the binary and hexadecimal data. However, it is not a very good editor as it provides very few editing tools.
It is a decent BIN file editor that you can try if you need a simple and basic binary data editing software. Through this software, you can view and edit multiple binary files at a time as it comes with a multi-window interface. It offers some handy viewing and editing tools that enhance the overall binary file viewing and editing experience. It is another good BIN file editor through which you can edit binary and hexadecimal data with ease.
However, it does not offer many editing tools due to which it is not an ideal editor to edit large binary files. Still, it is a decent software to view binary data as it not only shows binary data in a proper format but also shows detailed information about the input BIN file that other software does not provide. So you see the pattern here? We simply keep increasing the powers of 10 as our number gets bigger. Therefore, the decimal system is also called the base-ten numeral system. Assuming we have a binary number with several digits, we can start from the right hand side again:.
So how would we represent the number we just saw in decimal notation, , in binary? Clearly, we do need a few more digits than we did with the decimal system, but the value of the number is exactly the same. And that is all that matters! Thinking and calculating in binary numbers is of course somewhat tricky, since we are used to a number system based on the powers of But how does binary work for other sorts of information, like text, images, or audio?
Well, as it turns out, all of these types of information can also be represented in binary code, too! With binary, we can use simple numbers to represent the different letters in the alphabet.
That way, we can represent any word or paragraph of text as a sequence of these numbers. So whenever you are reading text on your phone or your computer, what you see on your screen is based on binary code like this. In a similar way to representing the alphabet in numbers, we can do the same thing for images and other graphic media, too. An image displayed on your screen consists of pixels. Each pixel in an image has a numerical value that determines the color it should display.
Understanding how binary code works is a great start into learning Computer Science basics! If you want to learn how to code, knowing what happens inside a computer makes learning programming much more efficient.
In just under an hour, you will learn a bunch of Computer Science basics, including a refresher on binary code. CS Bootcamp is another short but powerful beginner-level course on Udemy for learning Computer Science basics. At the end, you will understand the fundamentals of databases, mobile apps, and the basics of software programming. Moreover, you will even write you very own basic software programs and applications. Computer Science on Udemy is a more thorough, comprehensive CS basics course for beginners.
This is definitely my 1 recommendation for Computer Science fundamentals for beginners. Download my list of 15 proven tips for teaching yourself how to code faster — starting now! Computer Science E by the same professor is another excellent beginner-level course for learning Computer Science basics. At the time of writing this, the most recent content is a few years old from However, the fundamentals for the topics are still accurate.
Take a look at the very first lecture on how HTTP traffic works, for example. It is packed with helpful, useful information for anyone who surfs on the Web. Intro to Computer Science at Udacity is another one of my favourites.
The course focuses on learning computer science basics for beginners and at the same time introduces you to plenty of practical projects using Python. I know this topic is somewhat abstract and it might be difficult to think of a situation where you would need to know how binary works. When you write code and programs for your computer, you are not dealing with these binary numbers directly, really.
