Number
|
An abstraction or idea exressing a specific value. It must be represented in some way in order to be described, manipulated, processed, or stored.
|
|
Numeral
|
A number that represents another number.
Ex. 110 - one hundred and ten stands for 12 in the binary numeration system. |
|
Bit
|
Binary digit - represents a single number in binary numeration, which can be either one or zero.
|
|
EBCDIC
|
A code developed and used by IBM to represent written characters.
|
|
ASCII
|
Another numeric code for representing symbolic information in computers. It was developed by the ANSI and and is used by all personal computers.
|
|
Control Characters
|
Special non-printable characters used to control execution of commands between a computer and some device connected to it, like a printer. They are usually invisible to computer users.
|
|
Pixel
|
Picture element. The building blocks of a computer picture. Can be black/white, greyscale (more memory needed), or color.

|
RGB
|
Red, Green, Blue - The three standard colors used to make the dots on the screen of a television.
|
|
DARMS
|
A form of musical coding used by professional musicoligists which can be converted to binary.

Operation Code (opcode)
|
Part on an instruction that tells the computer what to execute. If any additional information is needed to perform the instruction, this is contained in a second part of the instruction called the operand.
|
|
Document formatting vs. editing
|
Formating is changing appearance of the document and editing is changing the content of the document.
