Why Do Computers Use 1s and 0s? Binary and Transistors Explained.

 Why Do Computers Use 1s and 0s? Binary and Transistors Explained.

Upon reviewing the finished video I realized I made a mistake in some of my vocabulary. A byte can represent a number up to 255 but it can actually represent 256 different VALUES, as 0 is a value in and of itself. Rerecording and reanimating would be a painful process, so forgive me this mistake.

Why Computer Understands 0 And 1 Binary Code?

All of us know that computer understands the language of only two numbers that are Binary 0 and 1. The binary number system is a base 2 number system that uses only two numbers 0 and 1 to represent any number.

You may be wondering, why computer use binary number system instead of using human friendly decimal number system which we are all familiar with using in our daily life.

It is a legitimate question to ask why computer understands and execute programs only in binary machine code. It is also the most important and commonly asked questions in the technical interview.

In this Video Tutorial, we are going to discuss the reasons why computer use only binary number system. And the answer to this question lies in the computer system architecture.
