... binary^1.1

In programming, ``binary'' has two meanings. One of them is the traditional one, which means using the binary system (0 and 1). The other one is derived of the first, and is used in opposition to ``text''. Any non-text file (like, for example, a JPEG or an MP3) is called binary, and thus editing such a file is binary editing. In this case ``binary'' is used in the latter sense.

... platforms^1.2

This is not true with modern interpreted languages, but I'm not nitpicking here.

... interpreters^1.3

There are exceptions, like Microsoft Visual Basic, which is a compiled language but needs quite substantial runtime libraries to run. In fact, most programmers do not consider Visual Basic a programming language because, they think that it is just a toy, which is true.

... ``Wizard''^3.1

For those of you who haven't read [LOTR], Gandalf is a powerful Wizard.

... prefer)^3.2

Again, who hasn't read [LOTR] should know that Sauron is another wizard (an enemy of Gandalf), while Bilbo and Frodo are hobbits (which are quite different from wizards).

That was sarcastic. Your knowledge is still closer to zero than to infinity.

Don't take this too literally. You'll see later why.

...overflow^5.1

An overflow happens when you try to put a value into a variable which cannot hold such big values. In the case of ints it is not defined what will happen if an overflow happens. Most probably the result will be garbage. The opposite of an overflow is an underflow; this happens when you try to put a too small value into a variable (for example assigning -100000 to an int might cause underflow).
