The smallest unit of information, represented by two states (0 or 1). Think of it as a light switch that can be either on or off.

A set of bits used to represent a specific piece of information. Think of it as a collection of light switches that form a pattern.

A system for representing numbers using place values, where each digit's position determines its weight. Imagine it as a system of coins with different values based on their placement in your hand.

Converting a binary number to its decimal equivalent. Think of it as translating from one language to another.

A method of representing negative numbers in binary by inverting all bits and adding 1. Imagine it as flipping the light switches on and off in a specific pattern to represent a negative value.

A set of instructions that a computer follows. Think of it as the recipe for a computer to perform a specific task.

A representation of information using 7 bits, covering lowercase and uppercase letters, digits, punctuation marks, and control characters. Think of it as a code for representing text.

An 8-bit extended version of ASCII that includes additional characters like Greek letters and symbols. Think of it as a more comprehensive text code.

The ability to represent information in multiple ways using the same set of bits. Imagine it as a single set of switches creating different patterns for different purposes.

A decimal number is converted to binary by repeatedly dividing the decimal number by 2 and noting the remainders, which form the binary representation from right to left. Imagine it like peeling an onion, revealing layers of binary digits.

The number of bits required to represent a specific number of choices or alternatives. Think of it as the number of digits you need to create a specific number of combinations.

The maximum number of choices that n bits can represent is 2n. Think of it as the number of combinations you can create with a set of switches.

A code that adds extra bits for error detection and correction. Imagine it as adding redundancy to your message to ensure it's received correctly.

A representation of a negative number in binary by changing the sign bit and inverting all the other bits. Imagine it as turning the light switches on and off in a specific pattern to represent a negative value.

A number format where the leftmost bit represents the sign. Think of it as a switch that determines if the number is positive or negative.

A representation of a number as a product of a sign, a power of 2, and a mantissa. Think of it as breaking down a number into its parts, like a scientist dissecting a specimen.

The number of digits after the decimal point in a binary representation. It determines the precision of the fraction. Think of it as the resolution of a ruler, the finer the scale, the more precise the measurement.

The position of the decimal point in a binary number. It determines the magnitude of the number. Think of it as a moving window that changes the value of the number based on where it's placed.

A standard for representing real numbers in binary using 32 bits. Think of it as a universal language for computers to understand numbers.

A value that indicates whether a number is positive or negative. It's like a signpost pointing to either positive or negative numbers.

Represents a number using both sign and magnitude. Think of it as having a distinct sign and a separate value.

A system for representing numbers with a fixed number of bits. Imagine it like a box that can hold only a certain number of things.

A way of representing numbers with a variable number of bits. It allows for a wider range of values. Imagine it like a box that can expand to accommodate different sizes of objects.

A system for representing numbers using octal digits (0-7). Imagine it as a counting system with only eight digits.

A system for representing numbers using hexadecimal digits (0-9 and A-F). Imagine it as a counting system with sixteen digits.

The number of digits after the decimal point in a fixed-point representation. Imagine it as the precision of a measuring tool, determining how fine the measurement can be.

A system for representing information using a set of characters, including letters, numbers, and symbols. Think of it as a way to communicate written language.

A code that represents numbers using a set of standard symbols, different from ASCII. Imagine it as a unique set of characters for representing numbers.

A code that represents characters using a standard set of symbols, including Unicode. Imagine it as a global language for representing characters.
