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.
