Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why is binary code used?
A
it makes it harder to hack into
B
it makes computers run faster
C
it was the first code ever invented
D
because why not
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In contrast, binary uses only two digits ( 0 and 1 )-also known as base-2. While the decimal system is better suited for human comprehension, binary is more efficient for computers since it requires fewer switches-that is, commands to interpret-in order to represent the same value.

Detailed explanation-2: -The use of binary numbers increased the expressive power of the binary circuits. That could be used to drive down the cost of a computer, or to make a more powerful computer at the same cost. That is our second fact: The use of binary numbers maximizes the expressive power of binary circuits.

Detailed explanation-3: -The importance of binary code The binary number system is the base of all computing systems and operations. It enables devices to store, access and manipulate all types of information directed to and from the CPU or memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -The binary system is applied internally by almost all latest computers and computer-based devices because of its direct implementation in electronic circuits using logic gates. Every digit is referred to as a bit. Example: Convert 4 in binary.

Detailed explanation-5: -Digital circuits including computers use binary because two logic levels are easier to deal with than a larger number of logic levels. Once you have a computer, converting the results to other number bases is no longer an issue.
