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.
