Bit - Binary Data (Structure)

Cpu Moore Law Transistor

About

Binary Data is a computer file that contains binary data (0 or 1)

Binary data may be described:

Type

Machine code

Machine code is binary data, a long string of 0 and 1 which correspond to instructions the processor understands. It can be seen as the output of a compiler. See for instance: the bin format output of the nasm assembler.

Data

All data are stored as binary data (in file or other storage system)

Conversion

To text

To represent binary data in printable characters, you need to use a map that

The map can be:
