Bits and Bytes. BIT. Modern computers are binary: Everything is represented as being on one of two possible states: the state of being a 1 the state of being a 0 A bit is the name for this smallest unit of storage in a computer. Bit is sort-of derived from "Binary digIT". Digital.

Transcription de la présentation
  1. Bits and Bytes Intro to IT - Bits and Bytes

  2. BIT • Modern computers are binary: • Everything is represented as being on one of two possible states: • the state of being a 1 • the state of being a 0 • Abit is the name for this smallest unit of storage in a computer. • Bit is sort-of derived from "Binary digIT". Intro to IT - Bits and Bytes

  3. Digital • Marketing and advertising folks have decided to characterize anything that is based on bits as being "digital". • Digital Cable TV • Digital Telephone • Digital Camera • Digital Audio • A better name might actually be discrete... Intro to IT - Bits and Bytes

  4. Byte • A ordered sequence of 8 bits. • Modern computers are based on memory systems organized as bytes of memory. • Memory sizes are typically given in numbers of bytes: • "I would like a burger, fries and 512 Mega bytes of memory". • "I have a 32Giga byte iPhone, so I am better than you". Intro to IT - Bits and Bytes

  5. 64 bit machine • A machine that processes information in 64 bit chunks. • The processor simply transports the information 64 bits at a time • The data-path, or bus, that runs to and from the processor is 64 bits wide. • 8 bits still = byte, 8 bytes at a time Intro to IT - Bits and Bytes

  6. How many bytes are there? • Keep in mind that a byte is a sequence of 8 bits. • Each bit can be either a 0 or a 1. • How many sequences of 8 0/1s are possible? • Here are a few: 00000000 00010000 10000000 10101010 Intro to IT - Bits and Bytes

  7. # of byte values: derivation 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 # of bytes = 28 = 256 • There are 256 possible byte values. • Although I may have 4 billion+ bytes in my iPod, there are only 256 different values, so many of them are identical! Intro to IT - Bits and Bytes

  8. Base 2 Numbers(binary numbers)‏ • We can talk about byte values by treating a byte as a base 2 number: 64 + 16 + 4 + 2 = 86 010101102 = 8610 Intro to IT - Bits and Bytes

  9. Hexadecimal • Base 16 is also used when talking about byte values. • Each group of 4 bits corresponds to a single hex digit. Intro to IT - Bits and Bytes

  10. Binary to Hex 110101102 = D616 = 21410 Intro to IT - Bits and Bytes
