Describe absolute binary, BCD, ASCII and Unicode.

 .

Absolute binary, BCD, ASCII, and Unicode are all different methods of representing characters, numbers and other data in binary format.

  1. Absolute binary: Absolute binary is a numerical system that uses only two digits, 0 and 1, to represent all numbers and characters. Each digit represents a power of two, with the rightmost digit representing 2^0, the next digit representing 2^1, and so on.
  2. BCD (Binary-Coded Decimal): BCD is a method of representing decimal numbers using binary code. In BCD, each decimal digit is represented by a four-bit binary code, which can be used to represent numbers frim 0 to 9. BCD is commonly used in electronic devices such as calculators and digital clocks.
  3. ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange): ASCII is a widely used code that represents characters as a sequence of seven bits. It includes codes for 128 characters, including letters, numbers and symbols. ASCII is commonly used in computer systems, telecommunications and other industries.
  4. Unicode: Unicode is a universal character encoding standard that can represent all characters from all writing systems in the world. It uses 8, 16, or 32 bits to represent a character, depending on the complexity of the character. Unicode includes more than 14300 characters from over 150 scripts and symbol sets.
In summary, absolute binary, BCD, ASCII and Unicode are all methods of representing data in binary format, with each system having its own unique advantages and disadvantages. The choice of which system to use will depend on the specific requirements of the application or system being designed.

Define LAN and WAN

 . Local Area Network (LAN)  A LAN is a network that is used for communicating among computer devices, usually within an office building or home.   LAN’s enable the sharing of resources such as files or hardware devices that may be needed by multiple users • • Is limited in size, typically spanning a few hundred meters, and no more than a mile.  Is fast, with speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps.  Requires little wiring, typically a single cable connecting to each device.  Has lower cost compared to MAN’s or WAN’s.  LAN’s can be either wired or wireless. Twisted pair, coax or fiber optic cable can be used in wired LAN’s. Advantages of LAN :    The data is transferred at an extremely faster rate in local Area Network.  Local area network (LAN) provides higher security. Disadvantages of LAN :   Initial cost of installing local area network is quite high.  Unauthorized user can access critical data of an organization in case LAN ad...

Introduction of Computer

.  A computer is an electronic device. It take input and store the data in memory and performing the function to produce accurate result in output device. It is used to type document, send email, play game, browse the web and entertainment.   Characteristics of computer  1 . High speed  Computer is very fast device. It is capable of performing calculation of very large amount of data. The computer has unit of speed in microsecond, nanosecond and even in picosecond. The computer is capable of performing millions of tasks per second. 2. Accuracy  The computer produces highly accurate and reliable result.  It does not make any kind of mistake in calculating. The calculation are 100% error free. The computers perform accurate 'n' number of times. 3. Storage capability A computer has much more storage capability. It can store large amount of data. It can store any type of data such as image, video, text document, audio and many more. 4. Diligence Diligence ...
