This is used due to the extreme simplicity of binary numbers (take a look at the addition table, and at the multiplication table, for binary numbers). This makes it much simpler to design circuits to do the calculations. Also, it is usually simpler, and safer, to distinguish two different states (for example, a high and a low voltage, to represent 1 and 0, respectively), than to distinguish ten different states.

∙ 6y agoThe main reason is that binary codes are robust. That is to say, an electromagnetic charge is either there or not there and a machine can easily and unambiguously determine which. For a computer to work on the decimal system, you would need to have ten different levels of charge. That would either require a very large range of values for the charges so that the charge for the highest digit would be very high, or very small difference between charges for individual digits. In the first case the energy requirement of computers would be very large and in the second case, small degradation in charge, over time, would make errors more likely.

Who used binary code for computers?
Yes, it is.
How computers use binary codes?
Computers have zero IQ. Computer can understand or feel "High voltage" or "Low voltage" or you can say, on and off. Computers use '0' for low voltage and '1' for high voltage. by using the conbinations of '0' and '1' all numbers and characters are classified. for example- if you have to write 'A', It is represented in ASCII code assigned to it and then converted to binary, hence use it.
Design a logic circit for conversion between binary code and Gray code?
OK. I have it. What now ?
What is the matrix font?
The font is NOT Japanese or Chinese it is binary code. All zeros and ones.
What is the most important characteristic of Gray code Prepare a table showing the 4 bit Gray code Explain the rule for conversion of Binary number to Gray code?
characteristic of Gray code
What is the hexadecimal code?
This is a code that computer programmers use to better communicate with computers. Because computers operate on a binary code system that is difficult for humans to understand, a code that made communicating with computers easier.
Who used binary code for computers?
Yes, it is.
What languages do computers understand?
They only understand machine language, which most people associate with binary code. But it's more than just binary digits. A certain sequence of some of them equates to a specific instruction for the CPU to execute. You could see this in assembly language.
What Numbers that computers use to store and process data?
BINARY
What is the binary language used by computers?
Machine code.
What are scientists working on to replace binary code in computers?
molecules
What is the most basic code computers use?
Machine code e.g binary code 011100010001101010001100010001001001
Why computer use number system?
Computers cannot understand languages. They can only compute data. Because of that, we use binary code because that is pure data.
What does bianry code and programming have in common?
Computers read binary code. Binary code is made up of 1's and 0's. Programming sometimes uses Binary Code, sometimes not. That's what they have in common.

What is Binary Encoder?
A binary encoder is a person who creates a code used to program computers at the most basic level. Claude Shanna developed binary encoding in the 1930s.
What is A set of instructions that a computer can understand directly?
A binary instruction code on a register.
