Basic units storage

The memory (main or secondary) is composed of electronic circuitry, which is a combination of(on and off) switches. This on/off state has been conceived by the computer's manufacturers as the numbers I and O as the circuit can show I (on state) or O (off state) at a given time. Based on these two numbers I. E. 1 and 0 (the binary numbers) the computer can construct sophisticated ways of representing data in the memory. Thus, converting the numbers, alphabets, and characters (and their combination) into binary digits enable us to represent them in the computer memory.
