Binary Code

A binary code is a way of representing text or computer instructions by the use of the binary number system 0 and 1.
This is accomplished by assigning a bit string to each particular symbol or instruction.

For example, a binary string of 8 binary digits can represent any of 256 symbols , letters or instructions.

In computing, binary codes are used for many methods of encoding data, such as character strings into bit strings.

These methods may be fixed width or variable width. In a fixed width binary code, each letter, digit, or other interpreted as a binary number, is usually displayed in code tables in octal, decimal or hexadecimal notation.

There are many character sets and character encoding for them.

A bit string, interpreted as a binary number, can be translated into a decimal number.
