- Each digit in binary represents a power of 2
- It's the foundation of all digital computing and data storage
- Binary can represent text, numbers, images, and any other form of data

How Text to Binary Conversion Works
Text to binary conversion is the process of translating human-readable text into its binary representation. Here's a brief overview:
- Each character in the text is converted to its ASCII code
- The ASCII code is then converted to its 8-bit binary equivalent
- For binary to text, the process is reversed
- Each 8-bit binary sequence represents one character
This converter allows you to easily switch between text and its binary representation, which can be useful for various programming, data processing, and educational purposes.
