Explanation

The binary system, which represents numbers using only two states (0 and 1), was conceptualized in ancient India by scholars like Pingala. This mathematical foundation is the core language used by modern computers to process and store data. Other electronic and mechanical devices do not rely on binary logic in the same fundamental way.
