Binary Number System is the process of demonstrating a number in the base 2. The
binary system is represented by zeroes (0) and ones (1). The numbers are represented in the form
of zeroes and ones only. The computer systems use this number system to manipulate and store
data. The main advantage of using the binary number system is the simplicity. The computing
equipment can be generated by the series of switches which can change its position from on to
