Binärfolge

A binary sequence, also known as a binary string or bit string, is a sequence of characters composed solely of the digits 0 and 1. These sequences are fundamental in computer science and digital communications, representing data in binary form. The length of a binary sequence is the number of bits it contains. For a sequence of length n, there are 2^n possible unique binary sequences. For example, binary sequences of length 3 include 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, and 111.

Binary sequences are used to encode various types of information. In computing, they represent numbers, characters, instructions, and all other forms of data processed by digital devices. The interpretation of a binary sequence depends on the context and the encoding scheme used. For instance, a sequence of bits can represent an integer value using binary numeral systems, or it can represent a character using encoding standards like ASCII or Unicode.

In digital communication, binary sequences are transmitted as signals, where a '0' might be represented by a low voltage and a '1' by a high voltage, or vice versa, or through other modulation techniques. Error detection and correction codes often rely on specific patterns and properties of binary sequences to ensure data integrity during transmission. The study of binary sequences forms the basis of information theory and coding theory.
