Document Summary

Bits: 0/1, t/f/ true/false, yes/no: and strings of bits, such as 010110. Numbers: 5, 101, -3, 3. 14159: and numeric expressions (3+2) Convert one body of info to another: compute. Info expressed in bits (0/1) or (f/t: operations transform input bits to yield output bits. 0 bit is no case; 1 bit is yes case.
