Storing binary data Computers store information in their memory. A computer's memory is made up of special switches. To store information in the memory, computers turn these switches on or off.

Traditional computers operate based on data that is encoded in a binary system. Essentially, each bit of data is represented in zeroes and ones only — no more, no less than the two forms.

KS3 Binary How computers see the world Computers use binary to process data. There are simple techniques to convert between binary and denary and to add two binary numbers together.

But how does the computer make sense out of the binary numbers represented by its open and closed switches? At the heart of the answer is the work of two other gifted Englishmen.
