CIS 275 Assignment 24 - Encoding Text

Encoding Text
This assignment illustrates the encoding of text information.

1. If you took a picture of your car, could you store that using the ISO 8859-1 character standard?

No, because ISO 8859-1 is the code meant to be for the text for the browsers.



2. Write the word Hello using the ISO 8859-1 character standard.
0100100001100101011011000110110001101111

a. How many bits did it take?
 40 bits

b. How many bytes did it take?
 5 bytes

c. Would it take more bytes in memory than in storage?
 It would be the same in both places.

 3. At 10 bits per second, how long would it take to transmit Hello from one computer to another?
 It would take 4 second.

4. Which contains more information 100 random bits or 1,000 random bits?
 If both of them are random bits with no code, which means no information can be translated as a meaningful.
