1.3 Digital Data Located On A PDA Being Represented In Binary System?
1.3 digital data located on a PDAs being represented in binary system?
1.3.1 Storing number Refer to Catherine, (2015) Binary describes a numbering scheme in which there are only two possible values for each digit: 0 and 1. The term also refers to any digital encoding/decoding system in which there are exactly two possible states. In digital data memory, storage, processing, and communications, the 0 and 1 values are sometimes called "low" and "high," respectively.
In digital circuits there is no provision made to put a plus or even a minus sign to a number, since digital systems operate with binary numbers that are represented in terms of “0’s” and “1’s”. When used together in microelectronics, these “1’s” and “0’s”, called a bit fall into …show more content…
A smartphone manipulates textual data as well. This text, for instance, is being written using a word processor on a smartphone. Somehow, the letters and punctuation symbols, as typed are transformed into strings of 1's and 0's and stored in the computer.
Clearly, these letters and punctuation symbols--let's call them "characters"--are encoded and then decoded when the time comes to print the document out. The only real requirement for an encoding scheme is that it be unambiguous. If we assign a string of bits to a letter, we cannot assign that same string of bits to another letter.
However, there aren't such properties for character data, so assigning binary codes for characters is somewhat arbitrary. The most common character representation is ASCII, which stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
ASCII is a 7-bit code, representing 128 different characters. When an ASCII character is stored in a byte the most significant bit is always zero. Sometimes the extra bit is used to indicate that the byte is not an ASCII character, but is a graphics symbol, however this is not defined by …show more content…
Exynos and Snapdragon chipsets have been battling it out inside Samsung flagships for a few years now, and in that time, we’ve seen them trade jabs back and forth. Samsung’s new Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are all the rage in the world of smartphones today, and rightly so: these are insanely powerful pocket computing devices. Packing the highest-end specs for today’s smartphone standards, both these devices can comfortably handle pretty much everything that you can possibly throw at them without breaking a sweat. However, even within these two devices, the differences don’t end at one having a larger screen and the edge features over the other; rather, there’s an innate difference between two Galaxy S7 models as well — one of them powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 chipset, while the other features Samsung’s own Exynos 8890, and that’s a cause for major debate right now. First, let’s take a look at the differences at a high level before we delve into the details of
