COMP6021 Class 08 Representing Text

the one with the zombies

We considered how to represent text using bits. I asked students to devise a text transmission system using traffic lights for use after the zombie apocalypse. I asked students to work in groups and email their solutions to me.

At the end of class I pointed out that someone has already devised a very similar system. But that it doesn't use lights. Quite the contrary in fact.

COMP6021 Class 07 Lab Intro to Photoshop

the one with the penguins

We had a very brief introduction to Photoshop. But we are mostly interested in its ability to save images with different settings. We won't be doing much else with Photoshop. But it is the industry standard tool for image editing and the secret to celebrities looking good.

COMP6021 Class 06 Represnting Negative Integers

the one with the binary bingo

We played binary bingo. But the person with the winning card didn't figure it out, so we shared the bag of jellies between us.

We looked at representing negative numbers with bits. I mentioned the IEEE format is used for floating point numbers, but we didn't look at it in detail.

Next up we will consider how to represent text using bits.

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.
