How+the+computer+represents+data


 * Introduction**

The computer understands everything only binary. Binary is a number system which has only 2 numbers in it: 0 or 1.

Technically this is not quite true. Everything inside the computer system is actually a series of voltages. These voltages have only 2 values: 0 volts, or positive volts. You can hopefully see that 0v and +v can convert quite easily to binary.
