binary


1. Base two. A number representation
consisting of zeros and ones used by practically all computers
because of its ease of implementation using digital
electronics and Boolean algebra.


2. Any file format for digital data encoded
as a sequence of bits but not consisting of a sequence of
printable characters (text). The term is often used for

Of course all digital data, including characters, is actually
binary data (unless it uses some (rare) system with more than
two discrete levels) but the distinction between binary and
text is well established.
