Answer: In mathematics, a representation is a very general relationship that expresses similarities (or equivalences) between mathematical objects or structures. The label representation is sometimes also applied to the homomorphism itself (such as group homomorphism in group theory).
Explanation: A bit is a binary number in which 0 is typically used to represent off (or false or positive) and 1 is typically used to represent on (or true or negative). Some sample binary ( base 2) numbers are 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, which represent 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 in base 10.
