Paul: to symbolise off and on, 0 = no power, 1 = full power, perhaps.
I already mentioned, it is covered under on / off.
cywr: Nowadays its positive and negative.
Its because its a base two system (binary), so only the first two numbers are used, 0 and 1. Binary was written about and used long before we had circuitry, IIRC Leibnitz was the first to write about it in terms of 0s and 1s back in the 1600s. Though ultimatly it would be boolian algrebra that proved the worth of a binary system in electrical switching circuits. At least, IIRC.
Kindly specify, when "Leibnitz was the first to write about it in terms of 0s and 1s back in the 1600s"? It is very interesting!!
Mortaza: I think computers dont have any idea about maybe?So It is yes or no?
Computers are man-made machines, it cannot think.
I request, cywr to clarify as to how "Quantum computers" have idea?
Anyway, again coming to the point - there are two states:
1. the state non-existence and
2. the state of existence.
If these two states are not conceived, perceived and understood, man could not have invented 0 and made 0 and 1 to use for computers to work.
