How should 10 to be pronounced?

[symbolipoint]

How is 10 supposed to be pronounced? I do not mean, "ten". I mean the binary number written as 10.

Is it to be , "two", or "one zero"? Something else maybe, using a modifying description before saying the word?

Two in Base two

"one zero"

Two in Base two

The only digits in binary (base-2) are zero and one. There's no digit for "two."

Onzer. Ten is onzeronzer.

The problem is that if you say one zero, it is unclear what you mean. Do you mean ten, do you mean one-zero, do you mean two in base two? Do you mean something else?

How I wrote it is clear. Let's assume we live in Base two. How to express the number two in that world? 10. Two in base 2. The fact that two is not a digit in Base 2 is irrelevant.

@symbolipoint explicitly asked about the binary number 10 and how it should be pronounced. Since the context is clearly binary numbers, not decimal numbers, $10_2$ corresponds to $2_{10}$. How is that unclear? He was not asking about the decimal number ten.

Two in Base two

How would you pronounce $10100001_2$? Would you convert this binary number to decimal in your head or just read off the binary digits from left to right?

As "one zero," as I already said. Counting in binary numbers goes like this: zero, one, one zero, one one, one zero zero, etc. The only numerals you have to work with are zero and one, so numbers larger than one are composed of a combination of zeros and ones.

Yes, 81 in Base 2

Better check your mental arithmetic. Also, maybe you should learn how to use the quote feature better.

damnit. That why we should just use 0's and 1's :)

"one zero"

One-o, for short. Like the one in short.
