What is Barcode?+
A barcode (also written as bar code) is a machine-readable visual pattern made of parallel black lines (bars) and white spaces of varying widths, sometimes with numbers below. It encodes information (like product ID, price, or batch number) that can be quickly scanned and read by a barcode scanner or camera. There are two main types: 1D barcodes (traditional linear ones, like UPC or EAN on products), 2D barcodes (like QR codes, which hold more data and use squares/dots) Barcodes make data entry fast, accurate, and automatic without typing.
