Logical conditions in programming often rely on a binary operation that evaluates two operands as either true or false.
-
The function uses a binary operation to determine the result from two input values, typically yielding a final result of 0 or 1.
Synonyms
An operation with two inputs that gives a true or false result
A way of combining two things to give one result
A rule that uses true and false inputs to give a true or false result like AND, OR, NOT

Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'binary' (involving two) combined with 'operation' (a procedure), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it denotes an operation that combines two elements. The more technical sense referring specifically to Boolean 0/1 values is domain-specific but does not prevent a B1 learner from understanding the basic compositional meaning.
Etymology
Binary operation comes from its two parts: binary means 'two' and operation means 'an action on things'. So a binary operation is an action that takes two items (for example two numbers or 0 and 1) and combines them to make one result.
