We typically use the decimal number system in our daily lives, from counting money, to telling time, most likely it's due to the count of our fingers. Every digit in the decimal system represents a distinct power of ten. For example, 365 = 3×10^2+5×10^1+6×10^0. However, computers are unable to use the decimal system instead, they can use binary numbers, sometimes called base-2 numbers.

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, javascript, programming, react, software, webdev

JavaScript developers, tired of messy try-catch blocks? The new ECMAScript Safe Assignment Operator (?=) is here to make error handling simpler and cleaner. Here’s what it does: What is the ?= Operator? Instead of writing multiple try-catch blocks, ?= handles errors in one line. It returns two values: [error, result]. If there’s an error, the first value is the error, otherwise, it’s null and the result is returned. const [error, result] = ?= someOperation();if (error) {console.error('Error occurred:', error);} else {console.log('success:', result);}Why You’ll Love It: Source link lol

On the other hand, BookMyShow is write-heavy during high-demand events like concert ticket sales, with a surge…
