- duel of characters in binary code, no.3 - 


there are characters that have numbers incorporated in their name which can change the statistical probability and percentage of 0 and 1 when their names are translated to binary code.

there are more 0 than 1 in binary code for numbers:

1 = 43.75%
0 = 56.25%

so this can increase a total percentage of 0 in their result.



For today's example, we will compare a character with number in his name, (HAL 9000) and other with only letters (David Bowman).


HAL 9000


01001000 01000001 01001100 00100000 00111001 00110000 00110000 00110000

1 - 28.125%
0 - 71.875%




David Bowman

01000100 01100001 01110110 01101001 01100100 00100000 01000010 01101111 01110111 01101101 01100001 01101110

1 - 46.875%
0 - 53.125%


Both characters have more 0 than 1, but the percentage of 0 in example of character HAL 9000, which is more than 70%, is stunning!
