Notes

  • Abstraction hiding aspects of a program to make it more user friendly
  • Octal, Hexadecimal, decimal, binary, etc., talking about the number of symbols per digit
  • Have to approach things in a scientific manner - do research
  • Toggling binary digits of bits to represent different numbers
  • Does so through transistors that can get turned on and off in patterns can allow for a computer to count in patterns
  • Binary patterns came to be 20, 21, etc. similar to binary which is base 10
  • To count higher the number of bits increases, the highest number that can be stored in three bits is 7 and it can increase to store more, usually 8 bits
  • Letters can also be stored as different values allowing other functions to be possible with a computer
