In computing, data is information, like facts, numbers, or symbols, that is stored and processed in a digital format. Computers convert this data, which can be user input, sensor readings, or calculations, into binary (1s and 0s) for storage and manipulation to perform tasks, send emails, or fetch web pages.

Digital Format: Computers interpret and process data in a digital form, most fundamentally as binary code (sequences of 1s and 0s).
