Solve the following sums. Also note the time you took to solve each of them.
1. 345678 – 789 = (Time taken to solve: )

2. 567 x 55 = (Time taken to solve: )
3. 100 x 9 + 890 – 67 = (Time taken to solve: )
4. 22/11 + 20 – 4 x 2 = (Time taken to solve: )

Do you know how computer solves these sums and how much time it takes to solve it? Let's find out
in this chapter.

This chapter explains how computers use binary code (0s and 1s) to store and understand information.
You will learn the difference between the binary and decimal number systems, and how to convert
numbers between them. This helps you understand how computers process data using binary
language.

WHAT IS BINARY CODE?

Binary code is the language that computers use to store and process information. It is made up of
only two symbols: 0 and 1. These two digits, called bits, form the foundation of all computer data.
Everything you see on a computer screen, from text and images to videos and games, is represented
using binary code.

HOW COMPUTERS REPRESENT DATA?

Computers represent all kinds of information using binary code, which is made up of only two digits: 0
and 1. Every type of data—whether it’s letters, numbers, pictures, or sounds—is converted into a long
string of these 0s and 1s.
