When Siphar presses ‘Enter' on the computer, the computer understands. That is because the meaning of the word is stored in its brain.
The instruction ‘Enter' is stored in the brain of the computer in Binary. Binary is the language we use to communicate with computers.
If you saw words or instructions in Binary, you would be confused. That is because Binary uses only a series of 1s and 0s.
Each 1 and each 0 is important. Each 1 and each 0 gives the computer an important message. The computer is made up of millions of circuits which allow electricity to pass. Or not. When electricity passes, it is ON and is written as 1. When it doesn't pass, it is OFF and is written as 0.
That is why the language is called Binary. It comes from bini, which is Latin for "two together". In this language, there are only two letters. The letters are called bits. Eight bits make a byte.
Using just 1 and 0, you can communicate many things to the computer. The letter A is stored as the byte 01000001. The letter B is stored as the byte 01000010.
