    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card_input/output

    An IBM 80-column punched card of the type most widely used in the 20th century IBM 1442 card reader/punch for 80 column cards. A computer punched card reader or just computer card reader is a computer input device used to read computer programs in either source or executable form and data from punched cards.

  3. Binary-coded decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal

    A binary clock might use LEDs to express binary values. In this clock, each column of LEDs shows a binary-coded decimal numeral of the traditional sexagesimal time. In computing and electronic systems, binary-coded decimal (BCD) is a class of binary encodings of decimal numbers where each digit is represented by a fixed number of bits, usually ...

  4. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    In the binary system, each bit represents an increasing power of 2, with the rightmost bit representing 2 0, the next representing 2 1, then 2 2, and so on. The value of a binary number is the sum of the powers of 2 represented by each "1" bit. For example, the binary number 100101 is converted to decimal form as follows:

  5. Computer programming in the punched card era - Wikipedia

    A single program deck, with individual subroutines marked. The markings show the effects of editing, as cards are replaced or reordered. Many early programming languages, including FORTRAN, COBOL and the various IBM assembler languages, used only the first 72 columns of a card – a tradition that traces back to the IBM 711 card reader used on the IBM 704/709/7090/7094 series (especially the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stored-value_card

    Stored-value cards are prepaid money cards and may be disposed when the value is used, or the card value may be topped up, as in the case of telephone calling cards or when used as a fare card. The term closed-loop means the funds and/or data are physically stored on the token or card in the form of binary-coded data. This is unlike payment ...

  8. Bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit

    The name is a portmanteau of binary digit. [1] The bit represents a logical state with one of two possible values . These values are most commonly represented as either " 1 " or " 0 " , but other representations such as true / false , yes / no , on / off , or + / − are also widely used.

  9. Binary data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_data

    A binary variable is a random variable of binary type, meaning with two possible values. Independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) binary variables follow a Bernoulli distribution , but in general binary data need not come from i.i.d. variables.
