Courses Plus Student 18,830 PointsHi Ameer! I recommend reviewing the videos anytime you get momentarily stuck. Around 00:38 - 00:55 in the Data video is where you'll find the answer. There Joy compares binary digits to electrical circuits, where "a bit is like a switch that's either off or on. If the switch is off, it's a 0 and if it's on, it's a 1."
On = 1
Off = 0
Hope that helps!
