Binary code is a system of representing information or data using only two symbols, typically 0 and 1. It is the basis of all digital systems, including computers. In binary code, each digit is called a bit (short for binary digit) and represents the presence or absence of a particular signal or state.
In the binary number system, each digit has a place value based on powers of 2. The rightmost digit represents 2^0 (1), the next digit to the left represents 2^1 (2), then 2^2 (4), 2^3 (8), and so on. This allows the representation of numbers in binary form, where each digit can be either 0 or 1.
For example:
- The binary number 1010 represents the decimal number 10 (2^3 + 2^1 = 8 + 2 = 10).
- The binary number 11100 represents the decimal number 28 (2^4 + 2^3 + 2^2 = 16 + 8 + 4 = 28).
In addition to numbers, binary code is also used to represent other types of data, such as text, images, audio, and video. For instance, in binary code, each character of text is assigned a unique binary pattern or code, allowing computers to store, process, and transmit textual information.
Computers use binary code as their fundamental language because digital systems are based on the manipulation of electrical signals that can be either on (represented by 1) or off (represented by 0). Through the combination and arrangement of these binary digits, complex operations and computations can be performed.
Binary code forms the basis for computer programming and the representation of information in digital form. It serves as the foundation for higher-level coding systems, such as hexadecimal and ASCII, which provide more compact and human-readable representations of binary data.
