What is Binary?

Binary is a base-2 number system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1. It is the fundamental language of all computers, digital devices, and electronic circuits because they operate using electrical signals that are either off (0) or on (1).

✓ Every number, letter, image, video and program is stored as binary (0s & 1s) inside computers
✓ Each digit position is a power of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32...) — unlike decimal which uses powers of 10
✓ 1 byte = 8 bits (e.g., 10101010) — can represent 256 different values (0–255)
✓ The foundation of all digital technology — from coding to AI, games, blockchain, and the internet

BINARY EXAMPLE

10101010

= 170 in decimal

Bit = 0 or 1

Byte = 8 bits

Computers speak only binary

What is the Usage of Binary?

Binary is not just a number system — it is the **core foundation** of everything digital. Every computer, smartphone, game, website, AI model, cryptocurrency, photo, video, and even this page exists because of binary (0s and 1s). It is how machines understand, store, process, and transmit all information.

✓ All files, images, videos, music are stored as binary data on your device or cloud
✓ Every program, app, game, website is written in code that ultimately becomes binary instructions for the CPU
✓ Internet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G — all data travels as binary signals
✓ AI, blockchain, cryptocurrency, QR codes, barcodes, digital security — all rely completely on binary logic and operations

How Does a Computer Understand 01010?

It’s not magic or mystery — computers are built entirely on simple electrical switches called **transistors**. When you see 01010 on screen, the computer doesn’t “read” it like we read letters. Instead, it uses tiny electrical signals: 0 = off/low voltage and 1 = on/high voltage. That’s how 01010 becomes real actions inside the machine.

✓ Every 0 = transistor is off (no/low electricity)
✓ Every 1 = transistor is on (high electricity flow)
✓ Groups of 0s & 1s (bits) tell the CPU what to do — add numbers, show letters, play sound, draw pixels
✓ Billions of these tiny switches flip millions of times per second — that’s how your phone, game, or this page works instantly

HOW 01010 WORKS

01010

= 10 + 2 = 12 (decimal)

0 = transistor OFF

1 = transistor ON

COMPUTER SCIENCE / DATA REPRESENTATION

THE LANGUAGE OF 0 AND 1

In our standard decimal system (base-10), we use digits 0 through 9. Each position represents a power of 10. In binary (base-2), each position represents a power of 2. By combining these, computers can represent any number, character, or instruction.

Decimal 5 1 * 4 + 0 * 2 + 1 * 1 = 101 in binary

Decimal 8 1 * 8 + 0 * 4 + 0 * 2 + 0 * 1 = 1000 in binary

Bit A single binary digit (0 or 1)

COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE / HARDWARE

FROM ELECTRICITY TO DATA

Computers use tiny switches called transistors to represent binary. When the computer sends a specific voltage through a transistor, it represents a 1; when there is no voltage or a very low one, it represents a 0. Millions of these transistors are packed onto a single processor (CPU), allowing the computer to perform billions of calculations per second.

Memory Capacitors store charge as 1 or 0

Logic Gates Transistors compare inputs to output results

Storage Magnetic polarity on disks (0 or 1)

DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE / ENCODING

THE UNIVERSAL CODE

The binary world exists because we have agreed upon standard ways to map patterns of zeros and ones to real-world information. Whether it is a color on your monitor, a note in a song, or a letter in this text, it follows a strict encoding rule.

Text ASCII/Unicode maps 8-bit codes to characters

Images RGB values mapped to binary sequences

Audio Sampling waveforms into binary bitstreams

COMPUTER SCIENCE / NUMBER SYSTEMS

THE BASE-8 SYSTEM

In the octal system, we count 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and then the next number is 10. Because each octal digit corresponds to exactly three bits, it was frequently used in older computer architectures (like mainframes) to simplify the reading of binary data.

Binary 111 Octal 7

Binary 010 101 Octal 25

Used In Unix file permissions, legacy hardware

COMPUTER SCIENCE / PRACTICAL APPLICATION

WHERE OCTAL IS USED

While hex (base-16) is more common today, octal remains critical in specific legacy systems and certain operating system configurations where 3-bit groupings align with permission structures.

File Permissions Unix systems use octal for Read/Write/Execute

Legacy Hardware Older architectures (e.g., PDP-8)

Bitmasking Flag sets in programming

MATHEMATICS / NUMBER SYSTEMS

THE POSITIONAL BASE-10

The power of the decimal system lies in positional notation. The value of a digit depends not just on its symbol, but on its position. Each position represents a power of 10, increasing from right to left (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and so on).

Number 345 (3 * 100) + (4 * 10) + (5 * 1)

Rightmost Digit 10 to the power of 0 = 1

Why 10? Likely due to humans having 10 fingers

COMPUTER SCIENCE / DATA MAPPING

THE POWER OF BASE-16

Hexadecimal is the standard for modern computing. A single byte (8 bits) can be represented by exactly two hex digits. This makes it far more compact than binary and more intuitive for mapping memory addresses than decimal.

Binary 1111 Hex F (Decimal 15)

Binary 1010 1011 Hex AB (Decimal 171)

Web Color Example #FFFFFF = Pure White

COMPUTER SCIENCE / PRACTICAL APPLICATION

WHERE HEX IS ESSENTIAL

Hexadecimal is the standard language for technical communication in computing. Without it, debugging memory or identifying low-level hardware states would be nearly impossible for human engineers.

Memory Addresses Locating specific data in RAM (e.g., 0x7FFF)

Web & Design Defining 24-bit RGB color values (e.g., #FF5733)

Low-Level Debugging Inspecting CPU registers and machine code
