Binary system

​Binary system consists of two numbers. These numbers are 0 and 1. Electrical processors work on the principle that 1 represents availability of a signal and 0 represents absence of it.

With 8 combinations of 0 and 1, it is possible to count all the way to 255. Starting number is 0.

If higher values are needed, then more than 8 combinations are needed.

Modern computers have either 32 or 64 bits, allowing them to work with larger numbers.

Bits can be translated to RGB values. RGB stands for red, green and blue. With only 256 combinations of red, green and blue, it is possible to represent millions of colors.

Not only colors can be represented by numbers, but sounds can be represented by numbers too.

Better sounding audio requires more bits.

A human does not deal well with binary data, a human operates well with 0 to 9 numbers, so it is needed to have a process that transforms our numbers to numbers that a computer understands.

Numbers that are represented by numbers 0 to 9 are called decimal numbers, and the numbers which are represented by 0 and 1 only are called binary numbers.

Errors

It is a good idea to send errors in production environment to error log. Errors may contain sensitive information. Even so errors maybe helpful to development team or to QA team, errors need to be suppressed in production environment for viewing by everyone. Errors are good way to troubleshoot an issue therefore only trusted people can have access to this information. If not a trusted person get an access to this information, this information maybe used against the company and for a personal benefit. What to do in a case when there are more servers than one? Even so it is possible to inspect the log files in a single server, however it is impossible to do so when there is more than one server is available and web traffic is redirected to a different server each time. Log aggregation is needed in this case. All of the logs will be send to a central location. Logs may contain sensitive information. Please consult your company lawyer of how long logs can be stored, because logs can be use...

goto PHP operator

goto operator will skip execution of code and continue execution of a code that follows a label to which goto operator points to. If code has many goto operators, than this code probably needs a revision. It is possible to write code that executes without goto operators.
