Bits & Bytes
A way of representing information using only two options
What is binary?
A process for creating a digital representation of analog data by measuring the analog data at regular intervals called samples
What is sampling?
A process for reducing the number of bits needed to represent something without losing any information. This process is reversible
What is Lossless Compression?
The creator of the "Milly Rock"
Who is 2Milly?
A number system that uses a notation in which each number is expressed in base 10. It's the system that humans are used to counting in.
What is the decimal system?
8 bits
What is a byte?
Data that changes discretely through a finite set of possible values
What is Digital Data?
A process for reducing the number of bits needed to represent something in which some information is lost or thrown away. This process is not reversible.
What is Lossy Compression?
A collection of public copyright licenses that enable the free distribution of an otherwise copyrighted work, used when an author wants to give people the right to share, use, and build upon a work that they have created
What is Creative Commons?
The three values that computers encode in pixels to represent all colors.
What are RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values?
A contraction of "Binary Digit"; the single unit of information in a computer, typically represented as a 0 or 1
What is a bit?
Data with values that change continuously, or smoothly, over time. Some examples of analog data include music, colors of a painting, or position of a sprinter during a race.
What is Analog Data?
The compression method used to compress high quality audio files (i.e. WAV, FLAC). These audio files sound just like the original recording
What is Lossless Compression?
A work or invention that is the result of creativity, such as a piece of writing or a design, to which one has rights and for which one may apply for a patent, copyright, trademark, etc.
What is Intellectual Property?
When we create simplified representations of something more complex. It lets use hide the details and instead focus on problems at a higher level.
What is abstraction?
1101
What is 13 in binary?
Error from attempting to represent a number that is too large
The compression method your phone uses for photos whenever you are over your data plan
What is Lossy Compression?
A type of intellectual property that protects original works of authorship as soon as an author fixes the work in a tangible form of expression.
What is Copyright?
Its abbreviation is "ASCII"
What is the American Standard Code for Information Interchange?
31
What is 11111 in decimal?
Error from attempting to represent a number that is too precise. The value is rounded
What is a Round-off Error?
This contains the definition of the symbols that you would use to perform a successful lossless text compression.
What is a dictionary?
This can prevent someone from selling a shirt with my design on it online
What is Creative Commons?
Your computer uses 3 bits to represent decimal numbers (0, 1, 2, 3 and so on) in binary. This is the SMALLEST number for which an overflow error occurs?
What is 8 (1000)?
