title: In the binary understood by computers how are positives and negatives and char, int, float, etc distinguished from each other?
body: <p>The binary code used by computers isn't pure Base 2(binary) decimals aren't placed behind a period for computers like they would in base 2, and +/- values don't use the +/- symbols to differentiate between values on either side of 0, so how exactly do computers distinguish them?</p>
