Digital systems store, process, and communicate information in digital form and are used in applications like process control, communication, instruments, and consumer goods. A digital system like a computer uses binary code made up of 0s and 1s to understand input and provide output. Coding techniques compress data into a smaller representation that allows recovering the original data through encoding and decoding. There are different data sizes ranging from the byte which is the smallest, to larger sizes like kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, terabyte, and beyond up to the yottabyte which is the largest currently defined size.

1. Briefly define digital systems.
Information in digital form is stored, processed, and communicated by means
of digital systems. Process control, communication systems, digital instruments, and consumer goods are just a few of the applications where they are used. An illustration of a typical digital system is the digital computer, sometimes known as the computer. 2. Briefly define discrete elements. A discrete element method (DEM), sometimes known as a distinct element method, is any of a group of numerical techniques for calculating the motion and impact of a large number of tiny particles.
3. What is a Binary system?
All binary code used in computing systems is based on binary, which is a numbering system in which each digit can only have one of two potential values, either 0 or 1. These systems employ this code to comprehend user input and operational instructions and to offer the user with an appropriate output.
4. Describe coding techniques.
the transformation of data from one representation to another that is smaller but yet allows for the recovery of the original data or a close approximation of it. The typical terms for compression and decompression procedures are encoding and decoding.
5. What are the different data sizes?
Byte: 1 Byte Kilobyte: 1 thousand or, 1,000 bytes Megabyte: 1 million, or 1,000,000 bytes Gigabyte: 1 billion, or 1,000,000,000 bytes Terabyte: 1 trillion, or 1,000,000,000,000 bytes Petabye: 1 quadrillion, or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes Exabyte: 1 quintillion, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes Zettabyte: one sextillion or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Yottabyte: 1 septillion, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes
