  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
          characters+({text" rel="nofollow">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.

     Binary arithmetic, that in which numbers are expressed
        according to the binary scale, or in which two figures
        only, 0 and 1, are used, in lieu of ten; the cipher
        multiplying everything by two, as in common arithmetic by

        etc. --Davies & Peck.
  
     Binary compound (Chem.), a compound of two elements, or of
        an element and a compound performing the function of an
        element, or of two compounds performing the function of
        elements.
  
     Binary logarithms, a system of logarithms devised by Euler
        for facilitating musical calculations, in which 1 is the
        logarithm of 2, instead of 10, as in the common
        logarithms, and the modulus 1.442695 instead of .43429448.
        
  
     Binary measure (Mus.), measure divisible by two or four;
        common time.
  
     Binary nomenclature (Nat. Hist.), nomenclature in which the

     Binary scale (Arith.), a uniform scale of notation whose
        ratio is two.
  
     Binary star (Astron.), a double star whose members have a
        revolution round their common center of gravity.
  
     Binary theory (Chem.), the theory that all chemical
        compounds consist of two constituents of opposite and
        unlike qualities.
