Quick student answer
A system uses the character code 00110100 for the character '4'. Which is the pure binary representation of the numerical value four?
Direct answer
0100
Key terms
- Character code: A binary representation assigned to a character, including a character that displays as a decimal digit.
- Pure binary representation: A binary representation used to store a numerical value rather than a character symbol.
Common trap
Assuming a digit character is the same as its value: Identify whether the data is text or a number. A character code for '7' represents the character; the numerical value 7 has its own pure binary representation.
