Well, honey, to represent months of the year, you need at least 4 bits because you've got 12 months in a year, and you need 4 bits to represent numbers from 0 to 15. So, technically, you could do it with just 4 bits, but if you want to be fancy, you could use 5 bits for a more efficient representation.
A bitmap is a series of bits which represents a rasterized graphic image, each pixel being represented as a group of bits.
200 = 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0
signed magnitude
Using 5 bits, a total of (2^5) different numbers can be represented. This equals 32, allowing for values ranging from 0 to 31 in unsigned binary representation. If signed representation is used (e.g., two's complement), the range would be from -16 to 15, still totaling 32 distinct values.
