Why is binary?
Binary (0 or 1) is the basic unit of information that computers understand. The code that you write finally gets converted into binary in order for computers to understand and execute them. The state of the switches in a computer are either on or off. This is represented in binary 0 or 1, yes or no, true or false. In your bracelet, black means 0 and white means 1.
