| Uses only 1? I know binary uses 1 and 0, but I also know of one that uses 1s only, I just forgot the name. |

No coding languages use only 1. Binary is not a coding language, it's a positional numeral system.
The number system you are thinking about is base-1 (sometimes referred to as tally). |

Base 1 uses only zeroes xD
I mean, technically it could use anything, but to continue the pattern, it uses only zeroes. The only problem with it is you need a divider for it, otherwise 00000000 Could be interpreted as seven or as eight zeroes, two threes, four ones, etc. |
