Binary Operation

A binary operation is a calculation or process that combines two inputs (called operands) to produce a single output. Think of it like a function that takes two values, such as numbers, and performs an action—like adding, multiplying, or comparing them. For example, in addition, you take two numbers, say 3 and 5, and the operation combines them to give 8. Binary operations are fundamental in mathematics and computer science because they define how data interacts and transforms within systems, enabling complex computations from simple rules.
