    A2 Solutions - Bits and Bytes

    Uploaded by

    Sage Paclibar
    The document discusses representing data in bits and bytes. It provides examples of file sizes in bytes and bits, encodings of characters in UTF-8, and an example of ASCII art. For the ASCII art example, it determines that each character requires 1 byte, the image contains 60 characters, so it requires 60 bytes and 480 bits to represent the entire image.

    Bits and bytes: solutions


    Problem 1 Simple
    A user comes across a small text file in her hard disk. The name of the file is ‘simple’ and
    its size is 12 bytes.

    Name Size Type

    simple 12 bytes Text

    Question Your answer ▿

    How many binary digits (bits) Number of bits in the file: 96 bits
    does this file contain?
    There are 8 bits in a byte.

    So there are 8 x 12 = 96 bits in the file.

    Problem 2 Symbols
    The table below contains examples of a few symbols, and their binary encodings in the
    UTF-8 coding scheme.

    Fill in the last column of the table: how many bytes are required for each of the
    characters?

    Binary Number of bytes


    Character Number of bits
    Representation ▿

    @ 01000000 8 8 / 8 = 1 byte

    11000010
    £ 10100011
    16 16 / 8 = 2 bytes

    11100010
    ⁂ 10000001 24 24 / 8 = 3 bytes
    10000010

    11110000
    10011101
    𝄞 32 32 / 8 = 4 bytes
    10000100
    10011110

    Problem 3 ASCII art


    ASCII art involves creating pictures using characters (such as letters, symbols, and
    numbers). Here is an example:

    ! |\_/| !
    ! -(@ @)- !
    !--oOO--(_)-OOo---!

    Questions Your answers ▿

    Every character is represented by Bytes for each character: 1 byte


    a sequence of 8 bits.

    How many bytes are required for


    There are 8 bits in a byte,
    one individual character in the so 1 byte is required for each character.
    image?

    In this image, there are 3 lines, with Total number of characters in the image:
    20 characters in each line. 60 characters
    This includes spaces and the special
    characters that move to the next line. There are 3 x 20 = 60 characters in the
    image.
    How many characters are in the
    image in total?

    How many bits are required for Bits for the entire image: 480 bits
    representing the entire image?
    There are 60 characters in the image.
    Each character requires 8 bits,
    so the image requires 60 x 8 = 480 bits.
    How many bytes are required for Bytes for the entire image: 60 bytes
    representing the entire image?
    There are 60 characters in the image.
    Each character requires 1 byte,
    so the image requires 60 bytes.
