Just like Binarry, I would like to know if there is anything like 0,1,2 instead of 0,1. I'm kinda researching on this and found it. As I want to share it, first I need to get clear if anyone invented it before me. Please let me know.

Thank you.

What I have tried:

Researching on Binarry and found something interesting. But I need to know about it first.

Hmm. I felt so happy when I found it. I wasted a ton of time on this. But now I understand I was so much late for that.

It's called Trinary, or Ternary:
What is trinary?[^]
Ternary numeral system - Wikipedia[^]

Those are called number bases. Binary is base 2. What you describe is base 3. We commonly use base 10 or the decimal system. Programmers sometimes use hexadecimal which is base 16 and occasionally octal which is base 8.

The bottom line is you did not invent this. You might have recently discovered this for yourself but number bases have been around a long time.

Yes, I invented it before you.

No, it was me!
-5V, 0V, +5V

And I also invented:
-5V, -2.5V, 0V, 2.5V, 5V and any other combination ;)

By creating (re discovering) the ternary algorithm, I found every other combinations too.

I discovered it, never invented.

Yes, I know. Just kidding.

Yes, for any set of values, it is generalized under the name of base.
Bases have been around for a few thousand years, and you are using bases every day.
degrees are base 360
minutes and seconds are base 60
hours are base 24
metric system is base 10
imperial system use base 12
computers are base 2

So chances that you invented something new is really tiny.
You probably rediscovered something by yourself.

Machines only understand charged - 1 and discharged electrostatic semiconductor state - 0. So hence a binary code

And what about Decimal, Octal, Hexadecimal etc, etc, etc. Binary is just Base 2. The fact that computers can only "understand" base 2 is irrelevent
Schrödinger invented the concept with his damned cat.

I rediscovered it without any pet or help
If anything, 0 was literally invented, which made number system more effective. The reason we use binary, because two state behavior that we can use in analog world. On and off.

As long as we understand number system that has zero, we are familiar with that.


If you search you will find many solution that can convert between any number system.

You may have "invented" it but I patented it.
