Transforming Data Into Information

 Understands only two states either

On or Off
 Makes different patterns of 0s and 1s
 Data vs Information
 How Computers Represent Data

4
How Computer Represent
Data
 Number system
 Manner of Counting
 Several different number
systems exist
 To Computer everything is
a number
 Alphabets, numbers,
punctuation marks, sound,
pictures, computer
instructions
 For example
 “Here are some words.” 5
Decimal Numbers
 Used by humans to count
 Latin word deci mean 10
 Also called Base 10
 Have 10 distinct digits
 0123456789
 10 is a two-digit number
 Digits combine to make
larger numbers

6
Binary Number System
 Switch has two states
 Off represents 0, On is 1
 Latin bi means 2
 Used by computers to count
 Two distinct digits, 0 and 1
 0 and 1 combine to make
numbers
 represent a quantity >1 it
uses two (or more) digits
 Pattern repeats indefinitely

7
Data Representation
A computer circuit represents the 0 or the 1
electronically by the presence or absence
of an electrical charge
