Binary code is a system of representing text, computer processor instructions, or any other data using a two-symbol alphabet consisting of two binary digits, or bits. These bits are typically represented by the symbols 0 and 1. In computing, the most common form of binary code is the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) character encoding, which assigns a unique binary number to each letter, digit, and punctuation mark.
Computers use binary code because their internal components, such as transistors, operate on an on/off principle,
The conversion between human-readable characters and binary code is handled by encoding and decoding schemes. For
