1 Binary Code Basics

Binary code refers to the use of 0s and 1s by a computer. 1 means there is an electrical current, and 0 means there is no electrical current. Each 0 or 1 is one bit. Eight bits = one byte. One byte is usually a character. You can use an ASCII Table to translate to or from binary and ASCII equivalants.
