Binary

Binary is a numerical system that uses only two digits, 0 and 1, to represent data. It’s the fundamental language of computers, as it simplifies the processing and storage of information in electronic circuits. Each binary digit, or bit, is a basic unit of data in computing.

Picture binary as the building blocks of the digital world. Every piece of information, from text and images to software instructions, is ultimately represented and processed using combinations of 0s and 1s, making binary the universal language of computers.
