Data Representation

and Internet
Fundamentals
BSIE1
Data Representation
➢ In computer organization, data refers to the symbols that are used to
represent events, people, things and ideas.
The data can be represented in the following ways:
Data
◦ Data can be anything like a number, a name, notes in a musical
composition, or the color in a photograph. Data representation can be
referred to as the form in which we stored the data, processed it and
transmitted it.
◦ In order to store the data in digital format, we can use any device like
computers, smartphones, and iPads. Electronic circuitry is used to handle
the stored data
Data Representation
The data can be represented in the following
ways:
1. Digitization
◦ Digitization is a type of process in which we
convert information like photos, music,
number, text into digital data.
◦ Electronic devices are used to manipulate
these types of data.
Data
Representation
The data can be represented in the following
ways:

2. Binary Digits
❑ The binary digits or bits are used
to show the digital data, which is
represented by 0 and 1.
❑The binary digits can be called the
smallest unit of information in a
computer. The main use of binary
digit is that it can store the
information or data in the form of 0s
and 1s
Representing Numbers
The number can be represented in the following way:
Numeric Data
❑Numeric data is used to contain numbers, which helps us
to perform arithmetic operations. The digital devices use a
binary number system so that they can represent numeric
data. The binary number system can only be represented by
two digits 0 and 1.
ASCII
Digital Devices
❑Several types of codes are employed by the digital devices to represent character
data, including:
1. Unicode
2. ASCII
❑ ASCII is American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It is a type of
character encoding standard, which is used for electronic communication.
❑With the help of telecommunication equipment, computers and many other
devices, ASCII code can represent the text. The ASCII code needs 7 bits for each
character, where the unique character is represented by every single bit..
Unicode
❑Unicode is also known as the universal character encoding standard.
❑Unicode provides a way through which an individual character can be represented
in the form of web pages, text files, and other documents.
❑Using ASCII, we can only represent the basic English characters, but with the help
of Unicode, we can represent characters from all languages around the World.
❑ASCII code provides code for 128 characters, while Unicode provide code for
roughly 65,000 characters with the help of 16 bits. In order to represent each
character, ASCII code only uses 1 bit, while Unicode supports up to 4 bytes.
Internet Fundamentals
❑The Internet is the backbone of the Web,
the technical infrastructure that makes the
Web possible.
❑At its most basic, the Internet is a large
network of computers which communicate
all together.
Internet vs. Network
❑A network is a group of connected
computers that can send data to each
other.
❑The Internet is a vast, sprawling
collection of networks that connect to
each other.
❑In fact, the word "Internet" could be
said to come from this concept:
interconnected network
