  2. Binary data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_data

    In statistics, binary data is a statistical data type consisting of categorical data that can take exactly two possible values, such as "A" and "B", or "heads" and "tails". It is also called dichotomous data, and an older term is quantal data. [1] The two values are often referred to generically as "success" and "failure". [1]

  3. Binary code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_code

    Binary code. The word 'Wikipedia' represented in ASCII binary code, made up of 9 bytes (72 bits). A binary code represents text, computer processor instructions, or any other data using a two-symbol system. The two-symbol system used is often "0" and "1" from the binary number system. The binary code assigns a pattern of binary digits, also ...

  4. Digitization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitization

    The term digitization is often used when diverse forms of information, such as an object, text, sound, image, or voice, are converted into a single binary code.The core of the process is the compromise between the capturing device and the player device so that the rendered result represents the original source with the most possible fidelity, and the advantage of digitization is the speed and ...

  5. Digital data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_data

    The actual precise time is analog data. Digital data, in information theory and information systems, is information represented as a string of discrete symbols, each of which can take on one of only a finite number of values from some alphabet, such as letters or digits. An example is a text document, which consists of a string of alphanumeric ...

  6. Digital electronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_electronics

    Digital electronics is a field of electronics involving the study of digital signals and the engineering of devices that use or produce them. This is in contrast to analog electronics which work primarily with analog signals. Despite the name, digital electronics designs includes important analog design considerations.

  7. Digital signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signal

    In digital electronics. In digital electronics, a digital signal is a pulse amplitude modulated signal, i.e. a sequence of fixed-width electrical pulses or light pulses, each occupying one of a discrete number of levels of amplitude. [6][7] A special case is a logic signal or a binary signal, which varies between a low and a high signal level.

  8. Machine code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_code

    For conventional binary computers machine code is "the binary representation of a computer program which is actually read and interpreted by the computer. A program in machine code consists of a sequence of machine instructions (possibly interspersed with data)." [1] Each machine code instruction causes the CPU to perform a very specific task.

  9. Computer number format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_number_format

    Computer number format. A computer number format is the internal representation of numeric values in digital device hardware and software, such as in programmable computers and calculators. [1] Numerical values are stored as groupings of bits, such as bytes and words. The encoding between numerical values and bit patterns is chosen for ...
