How do digital signals provide enough information to recreate sound or data accurately?

• Digital signals operate on a code or set of instructions, allowing them to be error-checked and cleaned up during transmission.
• Digital signals capture all the tiny variations in sound or other types of information.
• Digital signals provide enough information to recreate the sound or data very accurately.
• Digital signals are continuous signals that can resist noise and distortion.
