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.

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


If a binary number needs to represent 16 different values how long must the number be in bits?

4 bits
