analog

In computer science and electronics, the term "analog" is used to describe systems that work with continuous values. For example, analog signals are signals that change continuously in time and can take on different values within a certain range. In contrast, digital signals work with discrete values that are represented by binary numbers (0 and 1).

For example, for an analog controller, the values change smoothly, which enables precise and smooth control of parameters. For example, by turning the analog knob on the controller, you can gradually change the volume of the sound or adjust the intensity of the light brightness. Values are not limited to specific steps, but can be set to virtually any value.

In a digital controller, on the other hand, you could have, for example, buttons with certain presets (preset values) or certain actions, such as increasing the volume by level.

In practice, you can encounter analog and digital controls in various devices, from sound systems and televisions to various electronic devices. Each of these types of drivers has its advantages and disadvantages, and is used according to the needs and preferences of users and specific applications.
