I'm trying to understand what a 1 bit value represents. Is it just a single binary digit, either 0 or 1? And how does it relate to data storage and computation in a computer system?

Imagine an on/off light switch; a bit operates similarly, toggling between two options.

These states are designated using binary values, the simplest form of numerical representation in computing.

Alternatively, the two states of a bit can be expressed using other binary pairs, such as yes/no, on/off, or true/false.
