Frequently Asked Questions
What is binary code?
Data represented using only 0 and 1, corresponding to electronic off/on states. All computer data is ultimately stored and processed as binary. 8 binary digits = 1 byte.
How is text converted to binary?
Each character → ASCII decimal → 8-bit binary. 'H' = ASCII 72 = binary 01001000.
What format should binary input be?
Space-separated 8-bit groups. Example: 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 = 'Hello'.
Is binary the same as encryption?
No. Binary is just a different notation for the same data. Anyone can convert it back to text — it is not secure.
