binarny

Binarny is an adjective used in Polish and other languages to denote a relation to a pair or to the base-2 numeral system. The term derives from Latin binarius and is used in mathematics, computing, astronomy, and linguistics to indicate two-part structures or two-valued systems.

In computing, binarny refers to the binary numeral system, which represents numbers using two symbols, 0 and 1. Most digital devices perform operations on bits, the binary digits. A binary number such as 1011 represents decimal 11. Binary data refers to data stored or transmitted in binary form rather than as human-readable characters; files labeled as binary files contain non-text data such as programs or multimedia. Conversions between binary and decimal or hexadecimal are routine tasks in programming.

In science, układ binarny denotes a binary star system, where two stars orbit a common center of mass. In logic and linguistics, binary opposition or para binarna describes a pair of mutually exclusive categories, such as true/false or male/female; binary state machines rely on two states.

The term binarny also appears in various technical discussions to distinguish two-valued or two-part frameworks from more complex, multivalued systems. It is commonly encountered in technical writing, education, and specialized fields dealing with dualistic structures.
