In a true alpha-numeric code numbers are assigned to all characters - no letters are used. This is so that computers can process the code. The best-known example of an alpha numeric code is ASCII, where the numbers 0 - 255 are assigned to all the standard letters (upper and lowercase having different codes) and the digits 1 - 0, as well as the other characters a keyboard can type. A coide which uses both letters and numbers is one such as Hexadecimal Code - this is a form of counting using 16 as a base instead of the more usual 10. The code uses 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and then uses A for 10, B for 11, C for 12, D for 13, E for 14 and F for 15. 16 is represented in this code as 10. Hexadecimal allows decimal numbers of 0 - 255 to be represented by two characters.

In the computer's memory: nothing, they are just coded information (usually using binary).In the program object code: different routines process them (sometimes with different instructions).In the high level language source code: the language supports them with different encoding and operators/functions/subroutines to manipulate them.To the human programmer and/or user: they are conceptually different and used for different purposes.
It can be any letter of any alphabet: Roman, Greek.
To write 1 million five hundred dollars in numeric form, you would write $1,000,500. The number 1,000,500 represents 1 million (1,000,000) plus 500 dollars. In this numeric form, the comma is used to separate the thousands and millions places, and the dollar sign indicates the currency.
If we reject the null hypothesis, we conclude that the alternative hypothesis which is the alpha risk is true. The null hypothesis is used in statistics.
