HELP on reading the data sheet/weak pull-ups

[Archangel]

would someone please teach me how to read this so i know what to type in PBP
alot of people say "TRISB = %00000000"

TRIS = TRI STATE REGISTER so TrisA is tri state register of port A each port has 3 states,
input, output, unimplemented. Youset tris register by the bit so TrisA = %00000001 means bit zero is an input and the other 7 are outputs. You can address them individually just as easily like this TrisA.0 = 1 making PortA.0 an input. Port latches are done the same way,
example PortA = 0 all outputs low or PortA = %00000000 all portA outputs low, or PortA.1 = 1 ' portA 1 is high

and if so how do you read it, whats with the %, seems to me I'm setting individual values with that line (which is fine by me the more i learn now the better)

the % tells the compiler you are using binary. You could use decimal or hex just as well, I find binary easier because it gives a direct readout of the setting, ones are inputs zeros are outputs.

I'm so confused

Thanks in advance
