Data Representation Part 1 Flashcards
How do all computer hardware communicates?
They use ‘electronic signals’ but more specifically they use ‘logical signals’.
What is the only thing logical signal can do?
It can only be on and off
How do we model the operation of an on and off light bulb?
0 represent off and 1 represent on
What is a binary logic?
It is when a digital circuit operate using a logic consisting of only 0s and 1s.
What is the “CPU” in a computer?
It is where data is operated on, this means that data can only be operated on using binary.
What is “memory” in a computer
It where data is stored which means that data can only be stored as binary just 0s and 1s.
Everything is binary
What happens when everything is binary?
When everything is binary, then it is means there will be different representations for different types of data.
