Internet of the computer represent data

We did say that computer understands 0s and 1s only,but if yoy look at our keyboard there are not only 0 and 1 but also other numbers,alphabetic letter and some specific characters. so this 0 and 1 have to represent all those.0 and 1 in computer are termed as bits binary digit.
                                  The number consititutes 0 and 9.Alphabetic letter constitutes (a-z A-Z)and special characters like and others,now look at the different data types that computer has to operat one by one .When we talk about number its generally 0 to 9 their combination 0 to 9 means that there are 10 different values .The number of independent different from each other values defines the base or radix of the system.In 0 and 9 there are ten independent values hence those numbers are said to be of decimal number system and are called to posses base 10 or radix 10.
                        you already know that data in computer is represented only in terms of 0 and 1 that is only two digital and if we write all the data in 0 and 1 then we  call it binary number system.
0 and  1 are independently called bits.since there are only two individual bits present to define more than two number we have to have the combination of bits 0 and 1. if the combination is of 4 bits  then it is termed as nibble.if it combination is of 8 bits then it is termed as byte.It the combination is of 16 bits then it is called a word.
