Binary distribution
Hey kiddo! So you know how numbers work, right? We count from 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on. But do you know that computers use a different way of counting? It's called binary!
Binary only uses two digits, 0 and 1. Each digit is called a bit. So if you want to count more numbers, you need more bits. For example, with just one bit you can only represent 0 or 1, but with two bits you can count from 0 to 3 (00, 01, 10, 11).
Now let's talk about distribution. You know when your mom gives out snacks to your friends? That's distribution! In computer science, binary distribution means giving out software or programs in a form that the computer can understand.
So when someone says they are distributing software in binary form, it means they are giving the computer a bunch of 0's and 1's that represents that software. The computer can then read those 0's and 1's and use them to run the program.
Think of it like giving your friends instructions on how to build a Lego house. You give them specific pieces and tell them how to put them together. The computer needs those 0's and 1's to know how to put the software together and run it.
Does that make sense, kiddo?
