Digital Information

3. Level vs. Low Level Abstraction - the distinction between programming languages and tools that are closer to human language and those that are closer to machine language.
6. Errors - a type of programming error that occurs when a program tries to store more data in a memory location than it can hold.
8. - a single point in a graphic image, typically displayed on a screen or monitor.
9. the process of reducing complexity by hiding unnecessary details and focusing on essential features.
11. Compression - the process of reducing the amount of data needed to represent a piece of information.
13. Compression - a type of data compression in which no data is lost in the compression process.
14. Errors - a type of calculation error that occurs when a number is approximated or rounded off to a certain number of decimal places.

1. a unit of digital information made up of 8 bits.
2. the smallest unit of digital information, representing either a 0 or 1.
4. Number System - a number system based on the base 16, using the digits 0-9 and letters A-F.
5. Law - a prediction made by Gordon Moore in 1965 that the number of transistors on a microchip would double every 18-24 months, leading to an exponential increase in computing power.
7. Number System - a number system based on the base 2, using the digits 0 and 1.
10. Compression - a type of data compression in which some data is lost in the compression process.
12. a character encoding standard that assigns unique values to letters, numbers, and symbols for use in digital communication.
15. Number System - a number system based on the base 10, using the digits 0-9.
