    Study Notes

    Representing Information as Bit Patterns

    • 3 bytes can represent 2^24-1 different combinations of integers, considering one bit is reserved for sign convention.
    • Geometric representations of images are more conducive to changes in scale than bitmaps, but do not typically provide the same photographic quality.

    Binary to Decimal Conversion

    • 0101 → 5
    • 1001 → 9
    • 1011 → 11
    • 0110 → 6
    • 10000 → 16
    • 10010 → 18

    Decimal to Binary Conversion

    • 6 → 0110
    • 13 → 1101
    • 11 → 1011
    • 18 → 10010
    • 27 → 11011
    • 4 → 0100

    Largest Numeric Value Representation

    • 3 bytes can represent a maximum numeric value of 999 when each digit is encoded using one ASCII pattern per byte.
    • Using binary notation, 3 bytes can store any signed integer in the range from 0 to 2^24-1.

    ASCII Representation

    • The ASCII representation of the letter 'b' is 01100010.
    • An electric bulb can be represented using two states: ON (1) and OFF (0).
    • The ASCII 'b' can be represented as OFF ON ON OFF OFF OFF ON OFF using the electric bulb analogy.

    Bit Patterns

    • Dotted decimal notation represents each byte in a pattern by its base 10 equivalent, separated by periods.
    • Examples of dotted decimal notation:
      • 00001111 00001111 → 15.15
      • 00110011 00000000 10000000 → 51.0.128
      • 00001010 10100000 → 10.160
