Numbers stored and transmitted inside a computer in binary or ascii?
Binary.
What is the purpose of binary codes?
A Binary code is a way of representing text or computer processor instructions by the use of the binary number system's two-binary digits 0 and 1.So the purpose of binary code is to issue human readable code, changed to machine code (binary) that the computer understands and can execute the instructions.
How integers are stored as binary digits in computer?
It is 0 and 1.0=OFF AND 1=ON.
What is the Largest real number that can be stored in binary using 16 bits?
1111 1111 1111 1111 = 2^16 = 65536
How is scientific notation related to the floating point representation used by computers?
Floating point numbers are stored in scientific notation using base 2 not base 10.There are a limited number of bits so they are stored to a certain number of significant binary figures.There are various number of bytes (bits) used to store the numbers - the bits being split between the mantissa (the number) and the exponent (the power of 10 (being in the base of the storage - in binary, 10 equals 2 in decimal) by which the mantissa is multiplied to get the binary/decimal point back to where it should be), examples:Single precision (IEEE) uses 4 bytes: 8 bits for the exponent (encoding ±), 1 bit for the sign of the number and 23 bits for the number itself;Double precision (IEEE) uses 8 bytes: 11 bits for the exponent, 1 bit for the sign, 52 bits for the number;The Commodore PET used 5 bytes: 8 bits for the exponent, 1 bit for the sign and 31 bits for the number;The Sinclair QL used 6 bytes: 12 bits for the exponent (stored in 2 bytes, 16 bits, 4 bits of which were unused), 1 bit for the sign and 31 bits for the number.The numbers are stored normalised:In decimal numbers the digit before the decimal point is non-zero, ie one of {1, 2, ..., 9}.In binary numbers, the only non-zero digit is 1, so *every* floating point number in binary (except 0) has a 1 before the binary point; thus the initial 1 (before the binary point) is not stored (it is implicit).The exponent is stored by adding an offset of 2^(bits of exponent - 1), eg with 8 bit exponents it is stored by adding 2^7 = 1000 0000Zero is stored by having an exponent of zero (and mantissa of zero).Example 10 (decimal):10 (decimal) = 1010 in binary → 1.010 × 10^11 (all digits binary) which is stored in single precision as:sign = 0exponent = 1000 0000 + 0000 0011 = 1000 00011mantissa = 010 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 (the 1 before the binary point is explicit).Example -0.75 (decimal):-0.75 decimal = -0.11 in binary (0.75 = ½ + ¼) → 1.1 × 10^-1 (all digits binary) → single precision:sign = 1exponent = 1000 0000 + (-0000 0001) = 0111 1111mantissa = 100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000Note 0.1 in decimal is a recurring binary fraction 0.1 (decimal) = 0.0001100110011... in binary which is one reason floating point numbers have rounding issues when dealing with decimal fractions.
What form must a program be stored in memory?
binary
Numbers stored and transmitted inside a computer in binary or ascii?
Binary.
Is a memory address in Binary form?
memory address is stored in binary form
Why is information stored in some kind of binary format in computers?
Information is stored in some kind of binary format in computers because computer memory is made out of binary digits (bits).

What is electronic stored informaton?
The binary coded information. That is - information stored in zeros and ones.
In what form is data stored in a computer system?
It is stored in binary, that is in the form of ones and zeroes.
Instructions written in 0s and 1s are called?
Binary
Where are post instructions stored?
Power On Self Test instructions are part of the BIOS that is stored in EPROM. Some of the parameters used by the EPROM are stored in the BIOS CMOS chip.
What instructions carry out a task on the computer?
The binary codes in the registry.
