Context of the Standard |
Computers use numeric values to store information and perform operations. Information inputted into the computer from various components must be converted into numeric values in order for the computer to use the information and perform functions. Once the function is completed, the numeric values must be converted to a form of output that the user can understand. This output may be in the form of words, images, videos, or sounds. Examples of different ways non-numeric information such as letters or colors can be expressed include the use of different protocols such as binary, ASCII, or RGB. Students are not expected to apply these protocols in fourth grade. |
