computer will store only "0"s & "1"s. how is it possible to store data in that format. explain me in detail.

Question

is there any website to explain me about information inside the computers. kindly guide me.

Answer 1

because it takes 10 to tango

Answer 2

this is a MAJOr section in the field of electrical engineers.

data is stored in 2 ways. magnetically and electronically. the electronic means is stored in something called a "flip-flop" which is a series of four NAND or NOR gates hooked together in a specific pattern. these flip-flops send their output back into their own input, creating a feedback loop. this loop forces the gates to hold a state (either 0 or 1) until they are forced into another state by the user or something. hooking many of thises flip-flops together in parallel can give you comething called a register. these registers can hold many 0s and 1s. this in turn allows us to begin storing characters and bytes of information. each register has two characteristics. one is the actual value that is in the register, the other is the register's address. the address allows the computer to find exactly the specific data it is looking for. take a few million registers, and you have a memory stick.

the other form of memory is magnetic. here, 1s and 0s are stored as positive and negative polarities which are magnetically sealed into a large magnetic spinning disc. this is essentially the same idea of the electronic memory, except there are sectors instead of registers, and there is no electronic circuit, but a region of magnetically polarized metal.

Answer 3

Computers are based on the binary numbering system, which consists of just two unique numbers, 0 and 1. All operations that are possible in the decimal system (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) are equally possible in the binary system.
We use the decimal system in everyday life because it seems more natural (we have ten fingers and ten toes). For the computer, the binary system is more natural because of its electrical nature (charged versus uncharged).

In the decimal system, each digit position represents a value of 10 to the position's power. For example, the number 345 means:

3 three 100s (10 to the 2nd power)

plus

4 four 10s (10 to the first power)

plus

5 five 1s (10 to the zeroth power)

In the binary system, each digit position represents a value of 2. For example, the binary number 1011 equals:

1 one 8 (2 to the 3rd power)

plus

0 zero 4s (2 to the 2nd power)

plus

1 one 2 (2 to the first power)

plus

1 one 1 (2 to the zeroth power)

So a binary 1011 equals a decimal 11.

Because computers use the binary number system, powers of 2 play an important role. This is why everything in computers seems to come in 8s (2 to the 3rd power), 64s (2 to the 6th power), 128s (2 to the 7th power), and 256s (2 to the 8th power).

Programmers also use the octal (8 numbers) and hexadecimal (16 numbers) number systems because they map nicely onto the binary system. Each octal digit represents exactly three binary digits, and each hexadecimal digit represents four binary digits.

Answer 4

Well... I think no one will explain you "in detail" by this way...... >If u REALLY wanna know, you should go to a University and study some DIGITAL LOGIC. Maybe u can make an investigation on the web to have some info, but, if you want to really understand what happen in a computer, I suggest u to go to an educational center.

Answer 5

well its binary code you seeee and its pretty complicated and takes a lot more than just a breif explanation to get you to understand it. differen't patterns of 0's and 1's are used... its similar to the idea of morris code... in the way that short and long tones are combined to form letters in the same way 0's and 1's in certain orders are made to represent letters and cryptic form which te computer understand. It also has a lot to do with javascript. a computer reads java as well not just binary. It has a lot to do with and such such.

Answer 6

well you could go to ask.com. and for each letter,symbol, and number there are 8 commbinations of 0 and 1.
the 0 and 1 sends signals threw the computer tell the computer what you typesand what needs to be saved

Answer 7

Computer is designed in machine language that is nothing but 0's and 1's.So it can understand only machine language.And so our high level language(i.e.'English,Hindi,Tamil,etc..) are transulated into machine level language by the Interpreter.So what ever we type in english is converted into 0's ands 1's and gets stored in the computer.

Answer 8

It's called an algorithm. Simply a series of offs and ons. Sort of like you knowing that 555-1234 is your mother's phone number.

Answer 9

A transistor has 2 states, on or off. Computers are made out of transistors so that is what they process.

Answer 10

it not about 1, 0 numeric digits

memory is a magnetic device
there is only two things possible while saving data
i.e. empty (nothing saved) (0) , not empty (something saved) (1)

Answer 11

computers have number for numbers and numbers for letters and numbersa for names but the numbers are 0s and 1s like for example 010 10011 10100 1010001 could mean hey how are you dong today. it dont just an ex.
