What is meant by the term low-order bits and high-order bits most significant bit?
The bits in a numeric value like
00000000 00110011
have a decimal value based on the bit position. The most significant bit is the one that has highest decimal value and is the left most bit. The right most bit is the least significant bit.
High-order bits are the half of the number of bits that have the highest values, the left most bits in the 16 bit value above The low order bits in this case are the right most bits.
This should not be confused with bit placement in memory/cpu registers. Intel/AMD cpus are little edian, meaning that the most significant part is physically right and the lest significant is left most (the bits are not in reverse order). Google for a more detailed info.

How many bits are in a dollar?
eight bits are in a dollar
What is the mantissa of a floating point number?
The mantissa - also known as a significand or coefficient - is the part of a floating-point number which contains the significant digits of that number. In the common IEEE 754 floating point standard, the mantissa is represented by 53 bits of a 64-bit value (double) and 24 bits of a 32-bit value (single).
How do you enter a number in bits?
I assume you mean a binary representation of a number.The "least significant bit" (usually the one to the far right but in some languages it has another placement) is "ones"the next most significant bit are the twosThe third most significant bit are the foursetc.So if your number is 37there is one 32 (the sixth most significant bit)no 16's (the fifth most significant bit)no 8's (the fourth most significant bit)one 4 (the third most significant bit)no 2's (the second most significant bit)one 1 (the least most significant bit)if we are to fill an 8 bit "word " we get:0010 0101
What decimal numbers can 1 byte represent?
byte has 8 bits all bits at 0 = zero all bits at 1 = 255
What is a group of 16 bits called?
a group of 16 bits is called a "word"
What allows an attacker to manipulate files by using the least significant bits to secretly embed data?
Stenography
Explain why these 6 bits are of least significance in the image representation?
The least significant 6 bits in image representation typically encode subtle details or noise that are less crucial for visual perception compared to the more significant bits. These bits contribute to fine texture or color variations that may not significantly impact the overall image quality. In practice, discarding or compressing these least significant bits can help reduce file size without noticeably affecting the image's overall visual quality.
What is difference between a 'byte' and a 'byte'?
I believe you meant difference between a bit and a byte. A byte is 8 bits.
What is the bit rate of the following signals aA signal in which bit lasts for 0.001 seconds bA signal in which bit lasts for 2ms cA signal in which 10 bits lasts for 20s dA signal in which 1000 bits?
a 1 bits/second b 500 bits per second c 500 bits per second. I assume you meant 20 msec for c.
How do the arithmetic shift and logical shift differ?
With a logical shift the vacated bits are always filled with zeroes. With an arithmetic shift, a left shift will fill vacated bits with zeroes but a right shift fills the vacated bits with a copy of the most significant bit.
What is a sentence using the word corrugated?
The corrugated surface of the dirt road meant that the passengers in the bus were shaken to bits at the end of the journey.
What are three kinds of drill bits?
HSS bits, Brad bits and masonry bits.
How IPv6 is larger than IPv4?

What IP prefix?
an IP address is represented as A.B.C.D /n, where "/n" is called the IP prefix or network prefix. The IP prefix identifies the number of significant bits used to identify a network. For example, 192.9.205.22 /18 means, the first 18 bits are used to represent the network and the remaining 14 bits are used to identify hosts.
What is meant by the term bit per second?
It is a binary digit and computers use it to store and process data. A single binary unit is called a bit which stands for binary digit. Computer memory is measured in bytes. One byte is made up of eight bits.
What is the length in bits of a logical IP address IPv4 and IPv6?
32 bits (for IPv4), or 128 bits (for IPv6).32 bits (for IPv4), or 128 bits (for IPv6).32 bits (for IPv4), or 128 bits (for IPv6).32 bits (for IPv4), or 128 bits (for IPv6).
What are the best drill bits for wood and metal projects?
For wood projects, the best drill bits are Brad Point bits or Spade bits. For metal projects, the best drill bits are Cobalt bits or Titanium bits.
