computing crossword
Across
- 4. the base-2 number system using only 0s and 1s, representing the "off" (0) and "on" (1) states of transistors, forming the fundamental language (machine code) for processing all data, from text to images, as sequences of these bits (binary digits).
- 6. the smallest unit of a digital image or display, appearing as a tiny dot or square that holds a single colour
- 7. less common term for decimal.
- 8. a digital snapshot or measurement of an analogue signal (like sound or light) taken at specific intervals, converting continuous real-world data into discrete digital values that a computer can store and process, with quality depending on the sample rate (how often) and bit depth (accuracy)
- 9. raw, unprocessed facts and figures—such as numbers, words, images, or observations—that are stored and processed by computers, typically in binary digital form.
- 10. How much computer storage space a sound file takes up
- 12. the vertical distance or height of an object above a specific reference level.
- 15. changing, transforming, or controlling data or digital objects to achieve a specific goal
Down
- 1. How clear and accurate a recorded sound is compared to the original
- 2. To create a copy or playback of a sound
- 3. systems or data that use continuous physical quantities (like voltage, pressure, or rotation) to model problems, rather than discrete numbers (0s and 1s) like digital computers
- 5. a fundamental unit of digital information, typically consisting of 8 bits, used to represent a single character (like a letter, number, or symbol) or a small piece of data, serving as the basic building block for measuring computer file sizes and storage capacity.
- 8. How many times per second a digital recording captures the sound wave
- 11. the process of converting data or information into a specific digital format, typically a binary form (sequences of 0s and 1s), for storage, processing, or transmission.
- 12. the magnitude, strength, or intensity of a signal (like sound, voltage, or data) from its baseline, representing how "tall" the wave is, indicating power or volume
- 13. a fundamental character encoding standard that assigns unique numbers (0-127) to represent text
- 14. a universal character encoding standard that assigns a unique number (code point) to every character, symbol, and emoji from nearly all writing systems
