thumb|A Universal Product Code|UPC-A barcode A barcode or bar code is a method of representing data in a visual, machine-readable symbolic form. Initially, barcodes represented data by varying the widths, spacings and sizes of parallel lines. These barcodes, commonly referred to as linear or one-dimensional (1D), can be scanned by optical scanners known as barcode readers.
A barcode is a visual pattern of parallel lines with varying widths and spacings that stores information in a form that machines can read with optical scanners. Barcodes matter because they provide a quick, reliable way to automatically capture and process data, making tasks like tracking products and inventory much more efficient than manual entry.
