Reasons
for use of Binary system in the design of Computer:
The reasons
of using binary system by the computer are:
- Electronic components naturally operate in a binary mode. A core is magnetized in anticlockwise (0 state) or clockwise (1 state); a switch is either open (0) or closed (1); electrical pulses are either absent (0) or present (1).
- With the use of any two states, the circuit design is simplified, cost is reduced and reliability is improved.
- Finally, the binary system is used because everything that can be done with a base 10 can be done in binary.
