base two
Just zeros, ones
Base two is the binary number system, which uses only the digits 0 and 1 to represent all values.
Each position represents a power of two rather than ten, so the binary number 101 equals five in decimal.
Base two is fundamental to computing because electronic circuits naturally express on/off states: Computers process everything in base two.
