What is binary code?

Binary code is a system of representing text or computer processor instructions using the binary number system, which consists of only two digits: 0 and 1. Each digit is called a 'bit,' and sequences of bits can represent numbers, letters, or other symbols in computing. Binary code is fundamental to the operation of computers and digital systems, as it is the language that computers use to process and store data. All software and digital communications are ultimately broken down into binary code for a computer to understand and execute.
