Why are binary numbers important in digital computing?
Computers store and process data in binary form: current on or off, location magnetised or not, laser reader hits a pit or not.
What is the function of a digital scale?
It tells you the weight of what you want weighed. Some digital scales have a speaker when they tell you the weight.
What is 0 and 1 in digital computers?
i think its called binary.
What are the two types of clock?
Generally, analogue and digital. Digital directly displays the numbers which tell the time Analogue is the sort which has hands that point to numbers around a circular face.
Computers express numbers in what format?
The format by which computers express number is hexadecimal format. In this format the base of numbers is 16 as opposed to 10.
What is digital savvy?
You can use computers or other digital equipment. OR You can use numbers and do arithmetic.
Do digital computers break data into numbers and characters?
both
What is a digital screen?
A digital screen is a liquid crystal display (LCD) type that exhibits characters such as numbers or letters. Portable computers and digital watches are examples of this.
What is the difference between digital computers and hybrid computers?
Digital computers are purely digital, i.e. they use digital(electronic) means to process data. Hybrid computers conversely use both digital and analog technologies.
Do computers store data digitally and ultimately as a stream of only two numbers?
Most digital computers today do.
Why are the fourth generation computers called digital computers?
Because the first, second, and third generation computers were also digital computers.
What are the characteristics of digital analog and hybrid computers?
• digital computers work on discrete data representing quantities by encoding (e.g. integers, coded alphanumeric characters, coded floatingpoint numbers). • analog computers work on continuous data representing quantities by analogy (e.g. voltages, currents, shaft rotation rate, shaft position). • hybrid computers are a combination of digital & analog computers connected together to work as one machine.
What do electronic computer manufacturers produce?
Included in this industry are digital computers, analog computers, and hybrid digital/analog computers.
Are most computers analog machines?
No, most computers today are digital machines. Digital computers operate using discrete binary data, represented as 0s and 1s. Analog computers, on the other hand, manipulate continuous physical quantities such as voltage, current, or mechanical motion. While analog computers were used in the past, the vast majority of computers in use today are digital.
What is mean of SD?
Secure Digital
How a digital computer work.how can we define a digital computer and analog cmputer?
Digital computers work with exact discretely coded representations of numbers.Analog computers work with approximate continuous representations of numbers.Hybrid computers are computers that are part digital part analog.I have used all three types, each has advantages.
Why do digital computers use binary numbers for their operation?
Digital computers use binary numbers because that is easier for them, and the easiest way for humans to represent what goes on inside of computers. Computers contain millions of transistors inside the various ICs in the computer. Transistors can generally be on or off. Sure, it is possible for transistors to have a range, but then, in this case, it wouldn't be digital. So since the transistors are used as on-off switches, it is easiest to represent them as binary digits, since they can either be on or off.
