I’m working on a writing discussion question and need support to help me learn.
Discussion 1
1. Explain how data is formed from the simple electrical impulse all the way through a piece of electronic information.
2. What is the ASCII Table and why is it vital to the formation of data at the electronic level?
3. In your opinion, was Base 2 the best way to form data? Why not other bases that are not binary?
Discussion 2
1. What is a data type? Why do we need to specifically call out data types in a program?
2. Describe the basic numerical data types and letter based data types.
3. What is the difference between a long, a float, and a double in the C language? (you may do outside research on this) Why would you use each?
4. Why do you need to declare variables and their data types in a program? What happens if you do not?
5. In your own opinion, why are data types vital in computer science and why should we pay close attention to them in data science?
Discussion 3
1. What is machine code and machine language?
2. What is Assembly code and why is it different from machine language? Why must there be a specific Assembly language for each hardware system?
3. What is a high level language?
4. How is data different at the machine level, versus the assembly level, versus the high language level?
