Analogue signal
An analogue signal is effectively a wave, in the form you’ve probably seen before. They take on continuous values - that just means that an analogue signal at a point may represent the value 0.7, 0.421, or any other value between 0 and 1!
Analogue signals store continuous values.
Computers don’t work with analogue signals, so they need to be converted into a digital signal if we want to use them in a computer.

| Analogue signal | An analogue signal is a wave that takes on continuous values (e.g., 0.7, 0.421) between 0 and 1. |
| How do computers handle analogue signals? | Computers do not work with analogue signals; they must be converted into a digital signal for use. |
