Understanding Binary, Decimal, Octal, and Hexadecimal

Binary uses only two digits (0 and 1) and is used internally by computers. Decimal is the standard number system used by humans. Octal and hexadecimal are compact representations often used in low-level programming, memory addressing, and debugging.
