Binary code are represented as 1s and 0s can look like 00000000 or 11111111 or 11001010 or any other combination thereof. The reason why it is chosen is its simplicity, the computer reads it as either one thing (a 1) or the other (a 0).
Any digital computer is just an array of switches and they can only have 2 states; on or off, 1 or 0. The switches can be arranged to have meaning in several number systems e.g. octal, Hexadecimal (hex for short) but the switches don't change, still they can either be on or off.

What code system does personal computers use to represent character data?
Ascii
What is binary code and why was it chosen to represent data in computers?
Binary code is a base 2 number system, with only the digits 0 and 1. It is used to represent the on/off states of transistors in integrated circuits, with 0 representing off and 1 representing on. So, binary codes represent the possible states of hardware transistors, and the binary codes represent numbers and letters through a coding system like ASCII or EBCDIC.
Personal computers commonly use what code system to represent character data?
Ascii
How can a Canadian computer talk with a Chinese computer?
Computers transmit information in binary code (also called "Machine Code") and then the computer's Operating System takes that binary code information and displays it in the language that the operator has chosen for it to be displayed it. All computers, regardless of language or country, use the same machine code.
What code allows computers to interchange information?
I think that the code that computers use to interchange information is called the ASCII code.
What is the hexadecimal code?
This is a code that computer programmers use to better communicate with computers. Because computers operate on a binary code system that is difficult for humans to understand, a code that made communicating with computers easier.

What is hexadecimal code?
Computer engineers use to use the hexadecimal code to program computers, or the base 16. Hexadecimal numbers use the digits 0 through 9, plus the letters A through F to represent the digits 10 through 15.
