A computer byte consists of eight bits, each bit being either a 0 or a 1. Assume that characters are represented using a code that uses a byte for each character. Some written languages, such as Chinese and Japanese, use tens of thousands of different characters. If a language uses roughly 78,000 characters, a computer code for this language would have to use how many bytes per character? x bytes

ISBN-13 is a new standard for identifying books. It uses13 digits d1d2d3d4d5d6d7d8d9d10d11d12d13. The last digit d13 is a checksum, which iscalculated from the other digits using the following formula: 10 - (d1 + 3d2 + d3 + 3d4 + d5 + 3d6 + d7 + 3d8 + d9 + 3d10 + d11 + 3d12)%10If the checksum is 10, replace it with 0. Your program should read the input as astring. Here are sample runs: Enter the first 12 digits of an ISBN-13 as a string: 978013213080 ↵EnterThe ISBN-13 number is 9780132130806

Write a calculator conversion program in Python that converts: A binary number into a hexadecimal number. A hexadecimal number into a binary number. The calculator should be able to handle 16 bits.
There are 2 numbers, X and Y in single-precision floating point representations. X=45B20000 and Y=B66C0000. Perform the multiplication operation on the two numbers using the floating-point number multiplication algorithm (the result is still in the floating-point format). Then convert each of them: X, Y and the results to a decimal number (fixed point).
Any floating-point representation used in a computer can represent only certain real numbers exactly; all others must be approximated. If A' is the stored value approxi- mating the real value A, then the relative error, r, is expressed as A - A' A r = Represent the decimal quantity +0.4 in the following floating-point format: base exponent: biased, 4 bits; significand, 7 bits.

A stopwatch uses six digits to display hours, minutes and seconds. The stopwatch is stopped at 02 : 16 : 58 Write the decimal integers that are currently stored for the Hours, Minutes and Seconds as unsigned binary numbers, using exactly 8 bits. Name the problem that might occur in some programming languages if an attempt was made to store the Minutes value as an unsigned binary number using exactly 4 bits.
A barcode scanner for Universal Product Codes (UPCS) verifies the 12-digit code scanned by comparing the code's largest digit (called a check digit) to its own computation of the check digit from the first 11 digits as follows: 1. Calculate the sum of the digits in the odd-numbered positions (the first, third,... eleventh digits) and multiply this sum by 3. 2. Calculate the sum of the digits in the even-numbered position (the second, fourth...tenth digits) and add this to the previous result. 3. If the last digit of the result from step 2 is 0, then 0 is the check digit. Otherwise, subtract the last digit from 10 to calculate the check digit. 4. If the check digit matches the final digit of the 12-digit UPC, the UPC is assumed correct By using C++ write a program that prompts the user to enter the 12 digits of a barcode separated by space. The program should store the digits in an integer array, calculate the check digit, and compare it to the final barcode digit. If the digits match,…
Convert the decimal (base 10) number 63 to a binary (base 2) number that has only the digits '0' and '1'. Binary number: (For example, the decimal number 16 is the same as the binary number 10000; the decimal number 13 is the same as the binary number 1101.)
A computer stores real numbers in the floating-point format in 8-bit words. The first bit is used for the sign of the number, the second bit for the sign of the exponent, the next two bits for the magnitude of the exponent, and the next four bits for the magnitude of the mantissa. Represent 5.627 in the 8-bit format.
