New Topic/Question
The point is simple count to 1000 in 8bit binary.
So I will start first:
00000001

what does it matter the bits... it's not like you NEED to pad with zeros. The only reason people usually do that is because they're representing the state of the register the value is being stored in.
It's not like I say 0000027 when I say that I'm 27 years of age.
Anyways

I know!
1000
shit we're already at 1000... that was short.

Actually I just realised I made a mistake since 8-bit binary goes only to 255.
We will do this in 16-bit binary.

haha!

And yes the leading bits DO matter. you must hold the bus low to prevent any noise from other devices that might magically make a one.

0000 0000 0000 1011
by the way I haven't done the Computer architecture much so I could be wrong but isnt it suppose to be 3 sets of 4 bits when considering 16 bits? =S

If it's 16 bits, you have 16 binary digits of precision, groups of 4 would be 16/4, so that's 4 groups of 4.
4*4=16
And no, the 0 padding is not necessary when writing a binary number. You may desire to depending the application of using binary numbers. But in the application of counting in a forum... where is the need? Maybe a preference of readability by some, but that's only preference, not need.
Keep in mind, binary is just another number system. Like hex, octal, decimal, quad, etc. The only time we pad any of these is because we desire to display them in their containers in that manner (a register, a text box, a grid, a scantron, etc).
In the case of say a memory register, yes you would write all the 0's because you're using some collection of bits to represent a number, and you must set ALL the bits to the proper representation. But that's a need of the hardware, not a need of binary numbers themselves.
