The Binary Number System is a fundamental concept in computer science and digital electronics. It is used to represent data in computers and other electronic devices. Binary numbers consist of only two digits: 0 and 1. Each digit represents a power of two, with the rightmost digit representing 20, the next digit to the left representing 21, and so on. For example, the binary number 1011 represents (1 x 23) + (0 x 22) + (1 x 21) + (1 x 20) = 11.
