Binary:
Binary (or base-2) is a numeric system that only uses two digits 0 and 1. It is compare 0 or 1 which is called as bits. Literal meaning of bit is if I get bit of information I can catch the thief. So bit means always compare 2 states.
There 4 type of numbering systems available in the world.
- Decimal
- Hex base
- Oct base
- Binary base
CPU (central processing units) knows only in binary formats. So every music notes are converted to binary base and start playing the music.
As I mention earlier bit means compare the two starts 0 or 1. In Normal English communication if I get a bit information and I can solve the issue. So bits means always comparing two stated. It can be either true or false, 0 or 1 and South Pole or North Pole etc.
