Detailed explanation-1: -Representing decimal numbers in binary format As mentioned earlier, the binary numbering system only works with 1s and 0s. However, the position of just these two digits can represent many more numbers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Computers doesn’t actually translate anything to binary, it’s all binary from the start, and the computer never knows anything other than binary. The character A stored in memory would be 01000001, and the computer doesn’t see that as anything but a binary number.
Detailed explanation-3: -It’s called binary code because it is made of only two symbols-0s and 1s. (The “bi” in “binary” means two.) Everything in the computer is represented by this binary code. Every picture, movie, sound, and program that you use in a computer is just a string of 0s and 1s.
Detailed explanation-4: -A compiler or interpreter translates code in a source language to machine code made up of those instructions.
