Explanation

The basic unit of digital information is a "bit,

A bit is the smallest unit of data in a computer.

A bit has a single binary value, either 0 or 1.

Multiple bits are combined to form more complex data units like bytes (8 bits), kilobytes, megabytes, etc.

Explanation

Explanation

This means that floating point numbers have between 6 and 7 digits of precision, regardless of exponent.

That means that from 0 to 1, you have quite a few decimal places to work with. If you go into the hundreds or thousands, you've lost a few.

AGM 30.4.23

Explanation

Control section commands are responded by the Arithmetic and Logical Unit (ALU) of the computer

Explanation

The main difference between a mainframe and a super computer of Supercomputers are focused to execute few programs as fast as possible while mainframe uses its power to execute as many programs concurrently.

Explanation

The basic function performed by a computer is execution of a program.

Taking data and instructions from a user, processing the data as per instructions, and displaying or storing the processed data, are the four major functions of a computer.

Explanation

CPU interconnection is some mechanism that provides for communication among the control unit, ALU and registers.

CPU stands for Central Processing Unit. 

Explanation

The control bus is a crucial component of a computer system that communicates with other elements, such as the CPU, memory, and input/output devices.

Its primary function is to transmit control signals.

Explanation

An address is an identifiable location in computer memory where data is stored.

Each memory cell has a unique address used to access or modify data.
