i think its done by a group of people
@kdmq You’re right! Thank you for the correction!
100000000000000000000000 is 1mb in binary.
i thought that in, for example, the x86 CPU, the segment address was five
digits. And the offset address is still 4 digits.
i hate my computer class.
@TheDTheory Well said my friend! I wish instructors, professors, and
teachers had your common sense and the ability to explain things that are
complex…at least to thick-headed people such as myself. 🙂 Wish you had
been my high school teacher, I may have passed with a more decent grade.
I’m not saying I’m stupid or unable to learn, but we all learn at different
paces in different ways. This video may as well been explained in Japanese
as far as I’m concerned…would not have made a diff.
@TheDTheory you book sucks. The reason it’s 8 bits to a byte has to do with
logical space. When you do a calculation you need someplace to put those
numbers, hence memory. So, memory must be able to handle binary “sets” that
make up numbers. That 1 or 0 only needs one place in memory so we call it a
bit. Which stands for binary digit. Early machines were 8 bit machines,
(that would be a hardware limitation) so 8 bits make up a byte. each byte
is made up of 2 nibbles, each nibble is 4 bits.
@TheDTheory do when you see a binary number like 0010 0010 1100 0010, they
are divided into nibbles. Two nibbles make up your byte. Depending on the
system and programmer you may be using a short or long in the software
which means that a short is usually 16 bytes, while a long is 64 bytes and
an int is 32 (almost forgot the int.)
I guess this video is useful as a look over of the subject after you’ve
studied it closely on your own. =/
@JerseyBoy192 HAHA, that’s a joke right?
Thanks for this very useful and helpful lecture. SO informative and
comprehensive.
haha computer scientists took a nibble out of a byte 🙂
Wonder how it was decided that 8 bits = 1 byte… How did they come with
that standard?
at last I understand what is 0x before any hex number means I’ve seen it a
lot but never understood what it means Big Like 🙂 God Bless You
@pcuncle I know this was posted a year back but check out The newboston,
Bucky is a great tutor.
Subbed 🙂
This is GREAT.
Hey this video was uploaded on my birthday. I’m giving it a like.
Capitalist System In The Free World
What the hell was that!
alter ernsthaft? ;(
2^3 = 6 !!!
congratulations!!!!!!! u r the most stupid person on the earth 🙂
I thought looking this up would help me but im honestly not smart enough to
understand this level of math, regardless of my skills and attributes
elsewere. Im sorry if i come off rude, but thank you for this video anyway.
thank you, i was searching for lessons like this
