    Study Notes

    System Concept

    • The Information Processing Cycle (IPC) consists of four main stages:
      • Input: Data is entered into the system.
      • Process: The data is manipulated and transformed.
      • Output: The processed information is presented to the user.
      • Storage: The data and results are saved for future use.

    Number System and Representation

    • Storage Capacity Conversions:

      • 8192 Bits = 1024 Bytes
      • 1 Megabyte = 8,388,608 Bits
      • 3 Gigabyte (GB) = 3,072 Kilobyte (KB)
      • 1024 Kilobyte (KB) = 8,388,608 Bits
    • Conversions between Number Systems:

      • Binary to Hexadecimal:

        • 1110111010101012 = EEDAA516
        • 0111111012 = 7E916
        • 111101102 = F616
      • Hexadecimal to Decimal:

        • Implement conversion methods for hexadecimal to decimal.
