Computers can do all sorts of amazing things, from solving complicated math problems to showing us videos of dancing birds. Computers do all that thanks to something called “binary code”, which is a code that is made up of only two numbers, 1 and 0. But exactly how does it all work? We asked computer engineer Sam Dickerson to help us find the answer.
