Study Notes
Computer Programming
-
Computer programming deals with input, processing, and output.
-
The process between input and output is the core of computer programming.
Binary Counting System
- Computers use the binary system, which relies on bits (0 or 1).
- A bit represents a transistor being on (1) or off (0).
- Multiple bits can represent different numbers.
- Three bits can represent numbers from 0 to 7.
- Computers typically use eight bits (a byte) to represent a number.
ASCII Standard
- ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) assigns specific numbers to letters.
- 01000001 represents A, 72 is H, 73 is I, and 33 is !.
- Text messages can be represented as a sequence of numbers that correspond to ASCII characters.
Unicode
- Unicode extends the number of bits to represent more characters, including emoji.
- Emoji are represented by Unicode, with the initial bits defining the emoji structure, and subsequent bits for skin tone.
Color Representation
- Colors are represented by RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values, each a number between 0 and 255.
- 72, 73, and 33 would be perceived as a light shade of yellow.
Data Representation
- Images are collections of RGB values.
- Videos are sequences of images stored together.
- Music is represented using MIDI data.
Problem Solving and Algorithms
- Problem-solving is crucial to computer science.
- Algorithms are specific steps for solving a problem.
- A binary search algorithm repeatedly divides the search space in half to efficiently find a target value.
