Questions and Answers

Which of the following data types is represented in a continuous, fluctuating form?

  • Binary Data
  • Boolean Expression
  • Analog Data (correct)
  • ASCII

A programmer notices their application is sending data slower than expected. Which of the following units of measure should they investigate to diagnose the issue?

  • Bandwidth (correct)
  • Character Set
  • ASCII
  • Control Structure

What distinguishes a 'character set' from a single 'character' in the context of computing?

  • A character set represents continuous data, while a character is binary.
  • A character set is a collection of characters that a computer recognizes, while a character is a single element within that set. (correct)
  • A character represents the rate of data transfer, and a character set represents the number of transfers.
  • A character is a compressed form of data; a character set is raw data.

Study Notes

  • Analog data represents information with continuous, variable forms.
  • American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is a standard encoding system for text characters.
    • It uses numeric values to represent letters, numbers, and symbols.
  • Bandwidth is the maximum rate of data transfer across a network.
    • It's measured in bits per second.
  • Binary refers to a numerical system using only two digits: zero and one.
    • It is used to represent data in computing.
  • Boolean expression is a logical statement.
    • It can only be true or false
    • It uses operators like AND, OR, and NOT.
  • Character is a single letter, digit, or symbol in writing text.
  • Character set is a collection of characters that a computer can recognize and process.
    • Examples include ASCII or Unicode.
    • The compression ratio is the ratio of the original data size to the compressed data size, indicating how much the data has been reduced
  • Control structure refers to constructs in programming.
    • They control the flow of execution, like loops and conditional statements.
  • Data is raw facts and figures.
    • These can be processed to produce meaningful information.
  • Data compression reduces the size of data.
    • It saves space or transmission time.
