Computer Science Retrieval Data
Across
- 1. The maximum rate of data transfer across a network or communication channel, often measured in bits per second (bps).
- 2. The smallest unit of digital data, representing a binary digit (either 0 or 1).
- 5. A data compression method that sacrifices some data to achieve higher compression ratios.
- 6. The process of adding binary numbers, similar to decimal addition but using only 0s and 1s.
- 7. A data compression algorithm that preserves all the original data when decompressed.
- 9. Short for "picture element," a pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image, representing a single point and containing color information.
- 11. A classification that specifies which type of value a variable can hold, such as integers, floating-point numbers, or characters.
- 13. The situation in which the result of an arithmetic operation exceeds the capacity of the storage location.
- 14. Half a byte, or 4 bits.
Down
- 1. A group of 8 bits, often representing a single character in computer storage.
- 2. The base-2 numeral system used in computers, consisting of only 0s and 1s.
- 3. A method of representing signed integers in binary, simplifying arithmetic operations.
- 4. A base-16 numeral system commonly used in computing to represent binary-coded values in a more human-readable format.
- 8. A standardized character encoding system that assigns unique numbers to characters and symbols from various writing systems.
- 10. Depth The number of bits used to represent the color of each pixel in an image, determining the range and accuracy of colors that can be displayed.
- 12. American Standard Code for Information Interchange, a character encoding standard that assigns numeric values to letters, digits, and symbols.
