Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
computers recognize only two discrete states:1 or 0
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -binary code, code used in digital computers, based on a binary number system in which there are only two possible states, off and on, usually symbolized by 0 and 1.

Detailed explanation-2: -A computer manipulates information in digital, or more precisely, binary form. A binary number has only two discrete values-zero or one. Each of these discrete values is represented by the OFF and ON status of an electronic switch called a transistor. All computers, therefore, only understand binary numbers.

Detailed explanation-3: -SOLVED: Most computers and electronic devices are analog, which use only two discrete states: on and off.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most computers are digital which means they only recognize only two discrete states: on and off. Computers uses a binary system to recognize the two states. The binary system is a number that has just two unique digits, 0, 1, called bits. Bit is the smallest unit of data the computer can represent.

Detailed explanation-5: -Computers speak in binary because of how they are built. A computer is nothing more than a vast collection of switches. There are millions of nanoscopically small electronic switches on those oddly etched boards within the computer. A switch, unless it’s busted, can be either on or off, closed or open.
