It’s All (just) Bits1) Numbers are bits
2) Text is bits
3) Formatted text is bits
4) Pictures are bits
5) Sounds are bits
Paradigm Shift?
Bits can be operated on!
Example: adding two bits
decimal binary
0+0 = 0 = 0 00+1 = 1 = 0 11+0 = 1 = 0 11+1 = 2 = 1 0

6) Programs (instructions on how to operate on bits)
are also bits!

Computer Architecture in 1 Slide• A program is a sequence of instructions• Both data and program sit in memory (RAM)• At the heart of your computer is a processor,
which simply executes instructions in order, one at a time• A processor has a few registers
for storing intermediate results (like scratch paper)• There are only a few possible instructions and a few
registers; anything more complex is built up from there

Instructions can be encoded as bits:need a code for each operation (e.g., +=1, =2, /=3)write down the operation code, the values,and the register numbers
• But we have lots of data; it doesn’t all fit into the few registers. It sits in memory.
• Big idea: address it.

It’s All (just) Bits1) Numbers are bits
2) Text is bits
3) Formatted text is bits
4) Pictures are bits
5) Sound is bits
6) Programs (instructions on how to operate on bits)
are also bits!
SO WHAT?
