IP address was widely used in the network areas because the server could not able to understand the name of the computer.Each achine in the world works under the concept of the binary code like 100101101.It represents the available of voltage and absence of voltage.It's simple so we need some binary representation to make understant by the computer or any electronic mediun which uses the network communication. Usually when we type a any web address like wintricks.in it automatically converted into the binary codes by using a browser. note that you can only view the address of the computer when only it connected to the network.
