Binary translation zero issue

52 Views Asked by At

i'm a student and for this semester i have to deal with binary translation. I use multiple online tools for such conversion. My question is,

The binary to text conversion for "A" is: 01000001

but as per the book "1000001" is correct answer for "A".

However, the online binary translator returns nothing when I insert "1000001".

So my question is, which is the correct answer for binary to text?

I think both answers are correct. Adding zeros on the left side of a number does not change the number. For example, the numbers "0100" and "100" are same.

As long as I know binary numbers are eight-bit numbers. So, actual conversion of "A" is "1000001" but with a view to make this number an eight-bit number, they add extra required zero. On which tools u used?
