Binary is a base-2 numeral system consisting only of 0s and 1s. It is the fundamental language used by all modern computers and microprocessors.

How does text convert to binary?

Each text character is mapped to an ASCII or Unicode decimal number, which is then mathematically converted into an 8-bit (1 byte) binary sequence.

Why do computers use binary?

Binary perfectly aligns with the physical hardware of computers, where transistors act as microscopic switches representing two states: On (1) or Off (0).
