×Data representation in a computer:
- All data is stored in binary form, which has two possible states, 1 and 0. A binary digit is known as a bit, and eight bits are known as a byte.
- The computer system can store a variety of data types, including numeric data, text, executable files, pictures, audio, and video.
- Data is represented by storage cells, which are either electronically charged or discharged.
- Everything is a number to a computer, including alphabets, pictures, sounds, etc.
- Text code is a format used commonly to represent alphabets, punctuation marks, and other symbols.
,A computer uses a fixed number of bits to represent a piece of data which could be a number, a character, image, sound, video,In a computer, all data is stored in
binary form. A binary digit has two possible states, 1 and 0. A binary digit is known as a bit. A bit is the smallest unit of data a computer can use. The binary unit system is used to describe bigger numbers too. Eight bits are known as a byte.The
methods used to represent information in computers are known as data representation. The computer system can store a variety of data types. Numeric data, text, executable files, pictures, audio, and video are all examples of computer data representation.DATA REPRESENTATION IN A COMPUTER. Computers handle data by electrical components, e. Circuits or wires, which exist in two conditions (states), ON & OFF or “1” & “0”. Inside the computer, data is represented by
storage cells, which are either electronically charged or discharged.
Representation of Data/Information
- Number System We are introduced to concept of numbers from a very early age. To a computer, everything is a number, i.e., alphabets, pictures, sounds, etc., are numbers. ...
Data Representation in Computers
- The number types to be represented (integer, real, signed, unsigned, etc.)
- Range of values likely to be represented (maximum and minimum to be represented)
