Study Notes
Number Bases
- Number bases represent numbers differently.
- Decimal (base-10) uses digits 0-9.
- Binary (base-2) uses 0 and 1.
- Hexadecimal (base-16) uses digits 0-9 and A-F.
- Octal (base-8) uses digits 0-7.
- Each base has a place value system.
Converting Between Number Bases
- Converting between bases involves representing values in a different base.
- Methods include division and modulo, repeated multiplication, and conversion tables.
Units of Information
- Information is measured using powers of 2.
- Bit is the smallest unit (0 or 1).
- Byte is a group of 8 bits (often representing a character).
- Kilobyte (KB), Megabyte (MB), Gigabyte (GB), and Terabyte (TB) are larger units of information.
Binary Arithmetic
- Binary arithmetic uses binary numbers for calculations.
- Operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division use bitwise and logical operators.
Character Encoding
- Character encoding represents characters as bit sequences.
- ASCII (7-bit) encodes basic characters.
- Unicode (multi-byte) represents many characters from various languages.
Representing Images
- Images are represented by storing pixel color data in a grid.
- JPEG is a compressed image format suitable for photos.
- PNG is a lossless format for graphics with sharp details.
- BMP is an uncompressed format primarily used in Windows.
Representing Sound
- Sound is represented digitally by converting analog sound waves to digital samples.
- Each sample represents amplitude at a specific point in time.
- MP3 is a compressed audio format.
- WAV is an uncompressed audio format.
- AAC is another compressed audio format.
Data Compression
- Data compression reduces data size without significant information loss.
- Run-length encoding (RLE) replaces repeated values with a count.
- Huffman coding assigns shorter codes to frequent symbols.
