HOW COMPUTERS REPRESENT DATA

Computers represent 3 things: 1. Binary numbers 2. Binary Number system and 3. Bits and bytes.All computer data was converted to a series of binary numbers 1 and 0.The computer sees each as a collection 1s and 0s ,and we see a sentence as a collection of letters.

First is the Bits and Bytes, single unit of data called "Bit" is having a 1 or 0 value. Work with collection of bits ,grouping them to represent larger pieces of data.The Eight bits make up one byte.To represent state as you use 0 or 1 bit.

Second , Binary numbers represent numeric values using 0 and 1 symbols
