What is Binary?

Binary is a base-2 number system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1. In binary, each digit represents a power of 2, with the rightmost digit representing 2^0, the next 2^1, then 2^2, and so on. While humans typically use base-10 (decimal) numbers, computers use binary because it's easier to implement with electronic circuits that have two states: on or off.
