COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -To make sense of complicated data, your computer has to encode it in binary. Binary is a base 2 number system. Base 2 means there are only two digits-1 and 0-which correspond to the on and off states your computer can understand.

Detailed explanation-2: -Computers use binary to store data. Not only because it’s a reliable way of storing the data, but computers only understand 1s and 0s-binary. A computer’s main memory consists of transistors that switch between high and low voltage levels-sometimes 5V, sometimes 0.
