5. Last lesson…
• You worked in teams to talk about different
areas of data representation.
• Over the next two lessons we will be focussing
on some of the important areas of data
representation.

6. Today
• You will decode a binary message and provide
an answer
• Use the ASCII code sheet to decode the binary
message
Step 1. Convert to ASCII values
Step 2. Convert ASCII values to letters
Step 3. Convert response back into binary

7. Hexadecimal
• Hexadecimal codes are used to simplify binary
codes.
• Computers do not use hexadecimal – Humans
use it to shorten Binary
• Hexadecimal is translated into binary for
computer use.
– colour references
– assembly language programs
– error messages

8. All Colours are created equal
• To create colours we mix together the primary
colours
• What are the primary Colours?
8
Green
Blue
Red
As we know a computer needs a
numerical value to process
RGB provides computer
scientists with a range of
numbers: 0 to 256
What is the total numbers of
colours in the spectrum?
What is the square root of 256?
