CALCULATION
LO2. CARRY OUT MEASUREMENTS AND CALCULATION
1. Calculation needed to complete work tasks are performed
using the four fundamentals operations (addition,
subtractions, multiplication and division)
2. Numerical computation is self-checked and corrected for
accuracy
3.
ALL computers areelectronic, digital devices.
Digital devices work with discrete data, such as digits 1 and
0, or like a light switch – on or off.
These 1s and 0s are referred to as binary digits or shortened
to bits.
Computers use sequences of bits to digitally represent
numbers, letters, punctuation marks, music, pictures, and videos.
Humans interpret words and pictures; computers interpret only
patterns of bits.
DIGITAL REPRESENTATION
4.
Bit: From Binarydigit
Smallest unit of information computer can process
Can have one of two values: 0 or 1
Byte:
Collection of 8 bits
Can represent 256
different messages
(256 = 28)
DIGITAL REPRESENTATION
5.
In binary system,1 is equal to ON/TRUE and 0 is OFF/FALSE.
To read a binary number, get the turn - ON value/s only and sum it up,
no need to include the turned-OFF value/s. For example:
DIGITAL REPRESENTATION
Value 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
ON/OFF 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
0000 0001 = 1
Get the sum: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 1
Or simply get the turn - ON value which is 1.
6.
Multiple values example:
DIGITALREPRESENTATION
0000 0101 = 5
The binary number 0000 0101 is equivalent to 5 because the turned-
ON values are: (ALWAYS START FROM THE RIGHT)
1 and 4
Then get the sum: 1 + 4 = 5
Value 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
ON/OFF 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1
7.
Number 5 andthe “Value” in the tables are examples of decimal
numbers, the number system that we have known since we learned
how to count numbers.
DIGITAL REPRESENTATION
Note: Each group of eight bits is known as a byte.
For us humans,
1
+ 2
----------------------------

but for computers,
0000 0001
+ 0000 0010
------------------------------------------------
0000 0011
Bits as Codes
Codesrepresent each letter, digit, and
special character
ASCII: Most widely used
Each character is a unique 8-
bit code
256 unique codes for 26 letters, 10
digits, special characters
Unicode: Supports more than 100,000
unique characters
