Binary

Binary is a counting system that uses only two digits, 0 and 1, which is fundamental to how computers operate. Each digit, or bit, can represent various forms of data, and computers utilize binary due to their electronic circuits having two states: ON (1) and OFF (0). Understanding binary is crucial for grasping the basics of technology, coding, and digital electronics.

Binary

Binary is a system of counting and representing information using only two digits: 0 and 1. It
is the foundation of how computers and digital devices work. Unlike the decimal system,
which uses ten digits (0 to 9), the binary system uses just two symbols to encode data.

In binary, each digit is called a bit (short for binary digit). A group of bits can represent
numbers, letters, or instructions that computers understand and process. For example, the
number 5 in decimal is written as 101 in binary.

Computers use binary because their electronic circuits have two states: ON and OFF. The ON
state is represented by 1, and the OFF state by 0. By combining many bits, computers can
store and process complex information like images, music, and videos.

Binary is also important in coding, telecommunications, and digital electronics. Learning


about binary helps us understand how technology works at a basic level.

In conclusion, binary is a simple but powerful way of representing information using two
digits. It is the language of computers and essential for modern technology.
