Please do read Lesson2(Computer Codes) pages 7-14 and Lesson 4 (Data


Measurement) pages 34-37 of Unit2_DATA CODING SYSTEM. Then, do answer pages
14-15 and pages 38-43 of the same. Return your answer in PDF form.

Page 14-15
APPLICATION
In the previous section, you just learn three of the most commonly used computer
codes, their meaning, and importance. In order to retain those learning you have
acquired, answer the following questions.

1. How many bytes are needed to represent the decimal value 846,569 in BCD?

2. What is the largest decimal value that can be represented in BCD using two bytes?

3. Represent the decimal 175 by its straight binary equivalent. Then encode the same
decimal number using BCD.

4. An automotive parts shop uses a computer to store all of its parts numbers in 8-bit
ASCII code. The codes for each part are stored in successive memory locations. List
the binary contents of memory that stores the part number JR2-5.

5. Write the ASCII-8 equivalent of 01010011 01001011 01011001.

The answer is b. HELP, explain why. You can show your solution.

2. An operator is typing in a BASIC program at the keyboard of a certain microcomputer.


The computer converts each keystroke into its ASCII code and stores the code as a
byte in memory. Determine the binary strings that will be entered into memory when the
operator types in the following statement: GOTO
e. 01000111 01001111 01010100 01001111

The answer is a., explain why. You can show your solution.
