A through Z
1 through 16
0 through 15
0 through 9 and A through F
|
2 |
Alphanumeric characters are expressed in terms of binary codes. In ASCII (American standard Code for Information Interchange) each character is represented as a |
8 bit code
4 bit code
5 bit code
7 bit code

The main advantage of hexadecimal number is the case of conversion from hexadecimal to. |
ASCII code
binary
octal
decimal
|

The hexadecimal number system is widely used in analyzing and programming in. |
analog computers
binary computers
decimal computers
micro computers

Base 8 is often used in computing because. |
there are 8 bit in a byte
calculations become easier by using base 8
electronic circuits can be made econmically
it can represent long strings of binary 1's an 0's in a more compact form
|
6 |
The reason why computers have been designed to use binary numbers is. |
computer circuits have to handle 2 binary digits rather than 10
electronic components, by their very nature, operate in a binary mode
everything that can be done with a base of 10 can also be done in binary
all of the above
