Study Notes
Number Systems
- Binary uses 0 and 1.
- Octal uses 0-7.
- Decimal uses 0-9.
- Hexadecimal uses 0-9 and A-F.
- Conversions exist between binary, decimal, octal, and hexadecimal.
Binary Conversion
- Binary to decimal: Calculate the sum of powers of 2 based on the positions of 1s.
- Decimal to binary: Repeatedly divide by 2, recording remainders.
- Binary to hexadecimal: Group binary digits into sets of 4, convert each set to its hexadecimal equivalent.
- Hexadecimal to binary: Convert each hexadecimal digit to its 4-bit binary equivalent.
Binary Representations
- Unsigned binary represents positive values.
- Signed binary uses different representations (e.g., two's complement) to indicate positive and negative numbers.
ASCII and UTF
- ASCII: A character encoding standard using 7 bits to represent characters.
- UTF (Unicode): A character encoding standard supporting a wider range of characters than ASCII (using more bits).
Computer Definition
- A computer is a programmable machine capable of storing, retrieving, and processing data.
Computer History
