performs basic operations under the direction and control of a program. A computer is a necessity in todays world. The topic that was hard for me to understand this week was, "Coding Schemes and Numbering Systems." It was hard for me to understand what was the concept behind this and why it was so important to the use of computer. I also was lost on how they were made and how they came about. ASCII, EBCDIC, Unicode, and Binary were all confusing to me. They were all a bunch of abbreviations to me. I really didn't find any expalinations online about the information I was lost on.
I wasn't completely lost on the information, I understood some parts of it. Unicode to my understanding is a character code that defines every character in most of the speaking languages in the world. Binary is any digital encoding/decoding system in which there are exactly two possible states.In digital data memory, storage, processing, and communications, the 0 and 1 values are sometimes called "low" and "high," respectively. I am completely lost at what an ASCII table is and what it does, all I know is that its blue. As well as the EBCDIC table, all I know is that they both have something to do with encoding.
