Study Notes
Computing Systems Layers
- Computing systems are organized in layers
- Abstraction: we can interact with computers without understanding the complexity of each layer
- Hardware: Physical parts like circuit boards, wires, keyboards
- Software: Programs that provide instructions for the computer to execute
Data and Computers
- Early computers dealt primarily with numeric and textual data
- Computers today handle a variety of information types:
- Numbers
- Text
- Audio
- Video
- Images and graphics
Number Systems
- Decimal system (base 10) is human-oriented
- Binary system (base 2) is computer-oriented
- Positional notation: the value of each digit depends on its position
Base Conversion
- To convert numbers in different bases to decimal: multiply each digit by the corresponding power of the base and add the results.
- To convert decimal numbers to other bases: repeatedly divide by the new base, keeping track of the remainders, which are the digits in the new base.
- Base 16 (hexadecimal): uses digits 0-9 and letters A-F
- Base 8 (octal): uses digits 0-7
- Binary to octal: group binary digits into three and convert each group to its octal equivalent
- Binary to hexadecimal: group binary digits into four and convert each group to its hexadecimal equivalent
Arithmetic Operations in Binary
- Binary addition:
- 0 + 0 = 0
- 1 + 0 = 1
- 1 + 1 = 10 (carry 1)
- Binary subtraction:
- 1 – 0 = 1
- 10 – 1 = 1 (borrow 1)
- 11 – 1 = 10 (carry 1)
Bits and Bytes
- Bits: Binary digits, represent 0 (low voltage) or 1 (high voltage)
- Byte: Group of eight bits
Converting Between Binary, Octal and Hexadecimal
- Binary to octal: group by threes
- Binary to hexadecimal: group by fours
- Octal to binary: convert each octal digit to its three-bit binary equivalent
- Hexadecimal to binary: convert each hexadecimal digit to its four-bit binary equivalent
