Program Plan Intro
Tiny switch that can be set either “on” or “off”:
- The tiny switch that can be set to be either “on” or “off” is called as bit.
- A bit can be limitedly used to represent the numbers.
- The bit can be represented using two different values or numbers that indicates whether the bit is turned on or off.
