a general rule for binary is that the number of alternatives = 2 raised to the # of bits power.

Two to the seventh power is 128

How many unique values can 8 bits represent?

2 raised to the 8th power, or "2^8", or 256.


If records in a database are stored using a key which is one byte long how many records can the database store?

If the key is one byte long, then there are 8 bits that can be positive or negative. With all permutations of 8 bits, that leaves 2^8 (two to the eighth power) possibilities, which is only 256 total unique values.


How many bits does a Java char contain?

16 bits. Java char values (and Java String values) use Unicode.


What is the total range of decimal values that can be represented in eight bits?

In an 8-bit binary system, the total range of decimal values that can be represented depends on whether the representation is signed or unsigned. For unsigned 8 bits, the range is from 0 to 255. For signed 8 bits, using two's complement, the range is from -128 to 127.


How many bits in octet?

How many different number can be represented using 5 bits?

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.


What is the minimum number of bits would you need to represent 9 different values?

4.1 bit for 2,2 bits for 4,3 bits for 8,4 bits for 16.


8 bits can represent how many different characters?

There are 256 possible values (or characters) in 8 bits.


What is the range of numbers that can be encoded in 4 bits using 2s complement notation?

Using 4 bits the signed range of numbers is -8 to 7. When working with signed numbers one bit is the sign bit, thus with 4 bits this leaves 3 bits for the value. With 3 bits there are 8 possible values, which when using 2s complement have ranges: for non-negative numbers these are 0 to 7; for negative numbers these are -1 to -8. Thus the range for signed 4 bit numbers is -8 to 7.


How many distinct values can we represent with 5 bits?

32 values. 2^5=32
