What is binary?

A binary number is a number expressed in the base-2 numeral system or binary numeral system, a method of mathematical expression which uses only two symbols: typically "0" (zero) and "1" (one).

he base-2 numeral system is a positional notation with a radix of 2. Each digit is referred to as a bit, or binary digit. Because of its straightforward implementation in digital electronic circuitry using logic gates, the binary system is used by almost all modern computers and computer-based devices, as a preferred system of use, over various other human techniques of communication, because of the simplicity of the language and the noise immunity in physical implementation.

Text to Binary Conversion

The text that we type on computer is encoded in ASCII format. We humans can easily understand ASCII text because it looks like the language we understand. But internally computers work with binary code -- an encoding that is composed of only two digits, 0 and 1.

A unique set of zeros and ones represent each number, alphabet and special characters and sysmbols in computers. This set is called a binary code. For example, 01000001 represents letter A, Similarly 01000010 represent letter B and 01101011 represents lower-case letter k. Following is the table of English alphabet, corresponding ASCII codes and Binary codes.
