Binary system (in contrast)

The binary system is a way of representing numbers and data using only two digits: 0 and 1. Unlike the decimal system, which uses ten digits (0-9), the binary system is the foundation of computing and digital technology. Each digit in binary is called a "bit," and combinations of bits form larger units like bytes. This system is highly efficient for computers, allowing them to perform complex calculations and store information. In contrast, the decimal system is used in everyday life, making calculations more intuitive but less suitable for digital processing.
