Byte

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

• 8 bits

• A way of representing information using ten options.

• • 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.

• Byte

• Overflow Error

• Round-off Error

• Digital Error

Overflow Error is

• Error from attempting to represent a number that is too large.

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

• • 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.

• • Data that changes discretely through a finite set of possible values

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

•  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

• Lossless Compression

Lossless Compression

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

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

• 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.

• 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

Lossy Compression

• 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.

•  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.

Round-off Error is an error from attempting to represent a number that is too _. The value is rounded
