Across
- 2. A binary encoding system that can represent much more of the world's text than ASCII can (represents 65,536 different characters)
- 3. a particular way of organizing and storing data in a computer so that it can be accessed and modified efficiently
- 4. A binary code invented by Emile Baudot in 1870 that uses crosses and dots in order to encode 2^5 or 32 characters (fixed width encoding)
- 9. Associating each elemented by combinations of long and short signals of light or sound (variable width encoding)
- 10. search -A method for finding a target value within a list (whether presorted or not) by checking each value until a match is found or until all the elements have been searched
- 13. a sequence of characters (letters, numbers, symbols) used to represent test. Example: “Hello World”.
- 14. refers to the 26-letter alphabet of Latin characters and the numerals 0-9. Sometimes including some special characters such as punctuation marks and common symbols, such as the sign "@,".
- 18. A character encoding form whose sequences are not all of the same length is known as a variable width encoding.
- 19. Morse code is a method of transmitting text information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks that can be directly understood by a skilled listener or observer without special equipment.
- 20. Digital copies are only approximations of the natural object
- 21. the process of putting a sequence of characters (letters, numbers, punctuation, and certain symbols) into a specialized format for efficient transmission or storage.
- 22. (abbreviated) American standard code for information interchange outlines a common set of conventions for converting between binary values and alphanumeric values
- 24. If words, numbers, sentences—any two values—must be concatenated together, you can use this block.
- 25. a synonym for bringing together, (latin meaning is “chain-together”)
- 26. information that has been translated into a form that is efficient for movement or processing.
- 28. A subset of a string of alphanumeric fields or variables
- 29. variables that can take on any real value within a specified range rather than being restricted to discrete values
- 30. In which something can only be one thing or another (Yes or NO)
- 31. (short for binary digit) is the smallest unit of data in computing. Typically a 1 or 0.
Down
- 1. similar data appears in the same position of each line of data.
- 5. Non-digital signals or information represented by a continuously variable physical quantity such as spatial position or voltage
- 6. Irrelevant or meaningless data that has found its way into otherwise meaningful code
- 7. How information is stored, accessed, transformed and used by computers
- 8. any information (or effect) that a program produces: – sounds, lights, pictures, text, motion, etc.
- 11. A sequence of bits that can be used to represent sets or to manipulate binary data
- 12. A group of blocks that are combined to perform a specific task
- 15. A growth rate that increases rapidly, usually squaring the previous metric.
- 16. Separate or divided: Digital provide an example
- 17. a number assigned do to item
- 20. the process of simplifying complex systems by breaking them down into their essential components while ignoring unnecessary details.
- 23. space The space of potential possibilities
- 27. (also called an array) stores multiple pieces of information at once
- 31. a system by which numbers, letters and other information are represented using only two symbols, or binary digits.
