What is a barcode? Why is a bar code reader used?

Answer

A barcode is a collection or a sequence of lines of different heights and widths that are printed on various types of products. The machine that reads these barcodes is called a barcode reader. A barcode reader is used to convert the information encoded in a barcode into a digital format that can be processed by a computer system.
