Since computers cannot understand human languages, different number systems, such as binary (base-2), octal (base-8), decimal (base-10), and hexadecimal (base-10), are utilized by computer programmers to convey commands and instructions to computers. Decimal numbers are better understood by humans, as compared to hexadecimal, binary and octal numbers.
