    1. The 1st row represents ON's and OFF's
    1. The 2st row represents the example used in the picture
    1. The 4th row represents the power of each number in the 1st row equation structure is as follows: (char x 2(n)) char being the number in the 2nd row of a power of 2 so starting with the far right one (which in binary is actually the starting point "remember"!?) so the number 1 multiplied by 2 to the power of 0 is equal to 1 The 1 value tells us we are using that value (represented by the green✔️'s) & the 0 value tell us we are not using that value (represented by red ❌'s).
