Think of a bit like a light switch, it can be on or off, just like how you can have two different answers in a yes-or-no question. But if we use smart tricks, like patterns and shortcuts, we can pack a lot of information into those tiny switches. It's like turning a whole story into a clever riddle, the answer hides all the details!
Examples
- Sending a message by writing 'hello' once and how many times it repeats instead of writing it out over and over again.
- You can fit an entire recipe into fewer sentences if the ingredients are repeated multiple times.
