binary code
Digital number system
Binary code is the fundamental language of computers, representing information using only two symbols: 0 and 1.
Each digit (or bit) corresponds to an electrical state—on or off—allowing machines to store and process data.
All digital information—text, images, sound—ultimately reduces to binary code.
The message was encrypted in binary code.
