Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Data in the CPU is represented as digital electrical signals, which may take on the value of 0 or 1. This is because the CPU uses binary logic to perform calculations and execute instructions. Analog electrical signals may be used to represent data outside of the CPU, such as for input/output operations or in communication channels, but within the CPU itself data is strictly digital. Quantum signals and digital optical signals are not currently used for data representation in CPUs.
