How is a parity bit added to a four bit word?
A computer word is NOT 4 bits.In computing terms the base unit is a "bit" which can be set to "0" or "1"Then a group of 4 bits is called a "nibble"2 nibbles or 8 bits is called a "bite"next comes a computer "word" which can be 16, 32 or 64 bits, depending on the width of the computer's registers.A parity bit is used as the simplest form of error detecting code, a parity bit, or check bit, is a bit ADDED to any string of binary code to ensure that the total number of 1-bits in the string is even or odd.
How many hex digits can a nibble represents?
A 4-bit nibble has 2^4 = 16 possible representations and we can symbolise any one of these representations using just one hexadecimal (base 16) digit.
How many bits are needed in order to represent the decimal values from 0 to 15?
4 bits. 24 = 16, so you have 16 different combinations.4 bits. 24 = 16, so you have 16 different combinations.4 bits. 24 = 16, so you have 16 different combinations.4 bits. 24 = 16, so you have 16 different combinations.
