Welcome to BaseCS Season 2!
Today's episode of BaseCS focuses on the core concept of what makes computers work: binary!
Binary is a number system where the digits that we can use are either 0 or 1. In this episode, we learn about why we're limited to just these two numbers, and how they're related to the on/off switches inside of our machines. We also learn how these binary is used to measure memory and data, and what a bit and a byte are.
