binary format

Binary format is a way computers store and process data using only two symbols: 0 and 1. These two states represent off and on, similar to a light switch. By combining sequences of zeros and ones, computers can encode complex information like text, images, and sound. Each sequence, called a binary number, can be translated into meaningful data through programming. This simple two-symbol system is the foundation of all digital technology because it’s reliable, easy to implement with electronic circuits, and provides a universal language for computers worldwide.
