COMP6021 Class 05 The humble mighty bit

The one with the sock on the door

This was our first class. But I'm calling it Class 05 because I want to keep my numbering consistent with the weeks. I apologize for the late start, and the last minute room change.

I asked students to watch this video in advance of class. I don't believe that many did.

We looked at bits and combinations of bits, and how they can be assigned meaning. We looked at how bits can be used to represent integers.
