What does 0 and 1 mean in programming?
decimal. Since the binary system uses only two digits or bits and represents numbers using varying patterns of 1s and 0s, it is known as a base-2 system. Here, 1 refers to "on" or "true," while 0 refers to "off" or "false."

In programming, 0 and 1 are the fundamental building blocks of machine code, the language computers understand. These digits represent two states: on and off, true and false, or high and low voltage.
