Data

Data refers to raw, unprocessed facts or measurements that represent information. In digital systems, data is typically in the form of binary values (0s and 1s), which can be processed, stored, and transmitted. Data becomes meaningful when it is structured and interpreted, turning it into information.

digital data is represented using binary code, a system of two possible values: 0 and 1. Each binary digit, or bit, is a fundamental unit of digital information. Multiple bits combine to form larger units such as bytes, kilobytes, or megabytes, allowing complex information like images, videos, and audio to be stored.
