Creator[edit]
The book Mathematics and Computers by Stibitz and Larrivee (1957) claims Stibitz devised biquinary code. In that book the code he shows p. 105 is as follows:
| Decimal | Biquinary |
|---|---|
| 0 | 00001 01 |
| 1 | 00010 01 |
| 2 | 00100 01 |
| 3 | 01000 01 |
| 4 | 10000 01 |
| 5 | 00001 10 |
| 6 | 00010 10 |
| 7 | 00100 10 |
| 8 | 01000 10 |
| 9 | 10000 10 |
This is reversed from what is shown for the IBM 650 decimal digit ordering.--Billymac00 (talk) 03:23, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
Decoding[edit]
I excluded the Decoding section, as it was only referring to a particular encoding method (not even explained which), and not to the general bi-quinary system. If anyone thinks the decoding methods are important, you should first explain the encoding methods. --Frlara (talk) 22:30, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
- The scheme to which this refers is all over this article already. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:43, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
Bi-quinary is NOT a single coded representation, so there is NOT a single decoding method. The decoding method presented doesn't even work for any of the examples given. If you really think this section is important, please give the decoding method for each of the representation examples in the next section. Frlara (talk) 15:38, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
