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 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.


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 is the relationship between binary code and Morse code?

Binary code and Morse code are both systems used to represent information through a series of symbols. Binary code uses combinations of 0s and 1s to represent letters, numbers, and other characters in computers, while Morse code uses combinations of dots and dashes to represent the same information in telecommunication. Both codes serve as a way to encode and decode information, but they use different symbols and methods to do so.

How do Morse code and binary code compare and contrast in terms of their methods of encoding and decoding information?

Morse code and binary code both encode and decode information, but they use different methods. Morse code uses combinations of dots and dashes to represent letters and numbers, while binary code uses combinations of 0s and 1s. Morse code relies on sound or light signals, while binary code is used in computers to represent data. Both codes require a key or chart to decode the information.
