Information  processing  involves  acquiring,  storing,  analysing,  retrieving,  and  displaying
                  data. Just like a computer, our brain acquires, processes, and stores information. Effective

                  information processing is crucial for writing an algorithm.
                  The left and right brain of an human process the data as follows:

                    Binary Representation of Information

                  Binary  code is the  most basic form of data that a  computer  can directly interpret.
                  Computers use binary code, composed of 1s and 0s, to store and process data. These 1s

                  and 0s represent electrical signals: ON for 1 and OFF for 0. For instance, the number 5 is
                  stored as 0101 in binary.

                  Binary numbers can  also  represent text characters  through  the  American Standard
                  Code for Information Interchange (ASCII). For example, the binary code for the ASCII

                  uppercase letter 'A' is 1000001.


                     Conditions in a Program


                  The  program executes the statements written  inside  the IF block when the condition
                  is True. If the condition is False,                                  Start

                  the statements written inside the
                  else block will be executed. A block
                  refers to a section of code that is                              IF (Condition)

                  grouped together.                               True             to be checked            False
                                                             Statements inside IF              Statements inside ELSE
