It's the easiest means of handling all processes. The 0 and 1 generally do not represent actual numbers unless it really is a binary number string. Generally 0 and 1 relate to boolean values. 0 being false, and 1 being true. Back before massive hard drives, the internet and all the things we now take for granted. Data space, and processing power was very weak. As such computer engineers and designers needed the easiest way to transmit data. The way to accomplish this was to use a binary system.
0 and 1 in binary language represent Off or On Off=0 On=1 so for example lets say what you see as the "A" key stroke on your monitor, in circuitry world your computer will see it as 00001001 <-(As an example) so the power switch on the back of your computer (if there is one) 0 or 1 off or on.
Hope this helps!
Computer do not actually understand anything. They are being run on few electrical impulses, tiny wires. So, computer exactly understands the number in exactly the same way that lamp understands the state of light switch.
The word "understand" is a bit misleading here; computer's usually accept input as decimal, and show results as decimal numbers again. It is internally that they do most of their processing in binary, because they were so designed. And the reason they were so designed is because it is simpler to build computers that work with binary. For example, look at the multiplication table for binary numbers, and compare it to that for decimal numbers.
The computer doesn't really "understand" anything; it blindly operates on them. For example, an AND circuit will take two bits, and produce another bit as a result, according to the AND truth table - but this is not done with any "understanding", it is just electrical currents controlling other currents through special circuits.
because 0 and 1 is on and of
Binary is made up of 0's and 1's. Binary can also be called Machine Code. Binary is the 'language' that the computer understands.
When you input something, you are doing it in English or french or any preferred language but the computer just understands binary language. So, when we input something the computer is processing that piece of instruction into binary language and after that is sending you the output.
The computer understands binary because the 1 means on and the 0 means off, so that controls how it operates. Binary language is then converted to our number system where the numbers represent things. ASCII code is used to convert binary to text.
It doesn't. The only language the computer understands is its own native machine code; binary language. We use that binary language to program the computer such that it can translate the high-level human languages that we can understand into the low-level languages that it can understand, and vice versa.
because it is the only language a computer understands. The computer can only tell if a switch is on or off, and that is represented by a 1 or a 0
