Binary Operations

Definition

Binary operations are fundamental computational processes that act upon two inputs to produce a single output. In computing and blockchain, these operations process data represented in binary form, using zeros and ones. Examples include logical operations like AND, OR, XOR, and arithmetic operations such as addition or subtraction performed at the bit level. They are essential for cryptographic functions, data processing, and smart contract execution within digital systems. Their efficiency directly influences system performance.
