Although values represented in base 2 are significantly longer than those represented in base 10, binary representation is used in digital computing because
A) it's impossible to design a switch with more than two options
B) of the resulting simplicity of hardware design
C) early technology wasn't advanced enough to utilize binary representation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Binary representation simplifies hardware design because digital circuits can easily represent two states (on/off, 0/1) with switches or transistors, making the construction and operation of digital computers more reliable and efficient.
