A way of representing information using only two options

• Binary
• Sampling
• Decimal
• Lossless Compression

A contraction of "Binary Digit"; the single unit of information in a computer, typically represented as a 0 or 1

• Bit

A way of representing information using ten options

• Decimal
• Sampling
• Digital Data
• Intellectual Property

Error from attempting to represent a number that is too large

• Overflow Error
• Lossy Compression
• Intellectual Property
• Sampling

Error from attempting to represent a number that is too precise. The value is rounded.

• Round-off Error
• Digital Data
• Lossless Compression
• Byte

Data with values that change continuously, or smoothly, over time. Some examples include music, colors of a painting, or position of a sprinter during a race.

• Analog Data
• Binary
• Overflow Error
• Round-off Error

Data that changes discretely through a finite set of possible values

• Digital Data
• Lossless Compression
• Lossy Compression
• Decimal

A process for creating a digital representation of analog data by measuring the analog data at regular intervals called samples.

• Sampling
• Bit
• Round-off Error
• Analog Data

A process for reducing the number of bits needed to represent something without losing any information. This process is reversible.

• Intellectual Property
• Round-off Error
