binary
     
        1.  base two.  a number representation
        consisting of zeros and ones used by practically all computers
        because of its ease of implementation using digital
        electronics and boolean algebra.
     
        2.  any file format for digital data encoded
        as a sequence of bits but not consisting of a sequence of
        printable characters text.  the term is often used for
        executable machine code.
     
        of course all digital data, including characters, is actually
        binary data unless it uses some rare system with more than
        two discrete levels but the distinction between binary and
        text is well established.
     
        3.  a description of an operator which takes
        two arguments.  see also unary, ternary.
