1. Based on a two-element system, consisting of 0 (zero) and 1 (one), the binary code is a sequence of digits that represents the language used by equipment with digital circuits to process information and commands. Example: the word CODE is represented digitally by the sequence: 011000110110111101100100011010010110011101101111.
Etymology: Referred in the field of computing around 1945.

Binary code
The Binary Code is a system of representation of texts or of processors of instructions of a computer, that makes use of the binary systemmeanwhile, the binary system is the numbering system that is used in the mathematics and computer science and in which numbers are represented using only the digits zero and one (0 and 1).
Especially at the request of telecommunications and information technology, this code is used with different data encoding methods such as: character strings, bit strings, and can be of fixed or variable width.
Today’s numbering systems are weighted, which means that each position in a sequence of digits will have a weight associated with it, while the binary system is in fact a numbering system of this type: weighted.
Another characteristic of this type of code is the continuity which makes the possible combinations of the code adjacent, that is, from any combination of the code to the next, only one bit will change (continuous code). And the code will be cyclical when the last combination is in turn adjacent to the first.
On their side, the error correcting codes and error detector codes They represent a very important and definitive solution to the problem of data transmission through electrical impulses, since there are a good number of factors that can trigger a change in the electrical signal at a certain moment, thus causing the error that we mentioned.
