Understanding the Purpose of Binary Code

The video explains the concept of binary code, its purpose, and how it differs from the decimal system used by humans. It highlights that humans use the decimal system due to having ten fingers, while computers, being electronic devices, use binary code. Binary code represents data using switches that are either on or off, corresponding to the digits 1 and 0. This system allows computers to perform calculations and represent various types of data, including numbers, letters, and entire programs.
