Answer:

Digital electronics involves 2 states which are abstracted as 0/1 or true/false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Digital electronics involves 2 states. For TTL logic this corresponds to 0 Volt (0) or 5 Volt (1). Analyzing further, a digital waveform has a square shape (not necessarily a perfect square) with 2 levels denoting the two states, namely, true(1) or false(0). So a 0 or 1 is not actually absolute but 0 corresponds to voltage level below a threshold voltage whereas 1 corresponds to voltage level above a threshold voltage.
