Binary code consists of 0s and 1s. A 0 represents off and a 1 represents on. A computer is a number manipulator so it has universal values for each character you type. This is known as ASCII or American Standard Code for Information Interchange.

binary code consists of 1 and 0 only!!Every other digit from the decimal code can be represented by 0 and 1 !For an example
0=0
1=1
2=10
3=11
4=100
5=101
6=110
7=111
and on and on!!This is the code your computer uses for most of it's operations!Except the heximal code used in the registers!You can easily transform a digit from the bunary code back to decimal!It goes like this: the first position from the right side equals one , the second equals 2 ,the third equals 4, the fourth equals 8 and every next position is multiplied by 2!Then you take and add all the digits that have a '1' on it's position!Hope it became a little better for you to understand it - I'm not that good in explaining such matters!

Binary is base 2. In otherwords, its count is from zero to one and then it carries to the next column. For instance, 00 binary would be 0 decimal, 01 would be 1, 10 would be 2, 11 would be 3......and so on.

that means
yes

hahaha
see it is a simple concept.. A 1 means go this way and a 0 means go that way....
there is a simple crossroads connection. the silicon junction is a switch. If the 1 comes up then the current goes through if the 0 comes up then the current doesn't go through.
Hope that helps

binary code is made up of zero's and one's, much like true/false values. It is the basic language of your computer system. A bit is a single binary integer... let's say "1". A byte is eight bits..."01010010". A kilobyte (kb) is 1024 bytes, and so on.
