Digital

/ˈbɪtˌwaɪz ˌɒpəˈreɪʃənz/

noun — "manipulating individual bits in data."

Bitwise Operations are low-level computational operations that act directly on the individual bits of binary numbers or data structures. They are fundamental to systems programming, embedded systems, encryption, compression algorithms, and performance-critical applications because they provide efficient, deterministic manipulation of data at the bit level. Common operations include AND, OR, XOR, NOT, bit shifts (left and right), and rotations.

/ˈbaɪnəri/

adjective … “Based on two discrete values, 0 and 1.”

Binary refers to a number system, representation, or data encoding that uses only two symbols, typically 0 and 1. In computing, binary underlies all digital systems, as digital signals, memory storage, and logic circuits operate on two-state systems. Binary representation enables efficient computation, storage, and communication of information using simple, reliable hardware components.

Key characteristics of Binary include:

/ˈdɪdʒɪtl/

adjective … “Discrete representation of information.”

Digital refers to signals, data, or systems that represent information using discrete values, typically in binary form (0s and 1s). Digital systems contrast with analog systems, which use continuous physical quantities. Digital representation allows reliable storage, transmission, and processing of information, as discrete values are less susceptible to noise and degradation.
