digital input
Data from keystrokes
Digital input refers to data or signals that enter a system in discrete, binary form—ones and zeros rather than continuous values.
In electronics and computing, a digital input receives on/off signals from switches, buttons, or sensors: The microcontroller reads digital inputs from the keypad.
The term contrasts with analog input, which handles continuously variable signals.
