Adigital counter is an electronic device that keeps track of how many times something happens. It is a specialcounting tool that works with electrical signals instead of fingers or beads.
Imagine a machine that fills bottles with juice. A digital counter could be used to count the number of bottles filled. Each time a bottle is filled, the counter would increase by one.
The two main types are synchronous and asynchronous.
* Computers (keeping track of instructions) * TVs (changing channels) * Washing machines (setting timers) * Cars (measuring speed)
In short, digital counters are a fundamental part of many electronic devices, helping them keep track of events and processes.
