Hi!

I need some help with school since I'm quite active during classes (in other stuff).

Can you tell me how many bits I need for the dezimal system (0-9), for the alphabet and for all the signs in general?

Longboarders/ skaters message me!

OVAR 9000!!!!

Hi!

Can you tell me how many bits I need for the dezimal system (0-9), for the alphabet and for all the signs in general?

Seems like it is 7 or 8 bits. I looked up "ASCII bits"

And this is what I found:

I guess you meant ASCII?

Thanks, 7 bit for everything, 4 for numbers 0-9

In general,

 

You need to work out the number of different "signs", e.g. The alphabet, has 25.

 

Then you need to find log2(25), which will give you a number which, when rounded up, is the amount of bits you require. I done physics OCR AS last year, so I remember :P GL

Hah I'm in the first year of high school and the techers just say to us: you need x bits for this and that" and thats about it for us lol

that's a really bad teacher. You just need to know how many variable you have and then you take the appropriate number of bit (1=2^0,2=2^2,3=2^3, ect ...) when I was trolling my french teacher by righting in bit I was using a 5 bit system but if you want to also have sign of maj you will need twice as much.
