What is binary data?

Binary data is a type of data that only has two possible values. These values are often represented by the numbers 0 and 1, or the words “Yes” and “No” or “True” and “False”. 🤔

For example, when you answer a yes or no question, you are providing binary data. If you are asked if you like pizza and you answer “Yes”, that is binary data. If you answer “No”, that is also binary data. 🍕

Another example of binary data is a light switch. The light can either be on or off – there are only two possible values. The switch represents binary data because it only has two possible positions – up or down. 💡

Binary data is often used in computer programming, where the computer needs to quickly make a decision based on a simple “Yes” or “No” answer. 🖥️

In summary, binary data is a type of data that only has two possible values – “Yes” or “No”, “True” or “False”, or 0 or 1. Binary data can be found in many different situations, from answering questions to controlling machines with simple switches. 🔍
