How
to study
- Let your lecture
notes be your guide to important topics. When
I am writing the tougher questions for the test I tend to rely heavily
on the information I have covered in lecture. That way I know
students
have had the ability to ask questions if they have not understood the
material. Therefore, it is crucial that you understand all of the
information covered in lecture to a very high degree!
- Study the textbook material (reading and CD) for
general understanding.
- Contact the SSU tutorial center and use the CS101
tutors as needed (Salazar 1040 664-2429)
Items that you will
need to do
calculations and/or conversions for:
1) Conversions
between base 10 numbers and base 2 binary numbers:
Examples:
- (Base 10) 64 = (Base 2 binary) 01000000
- (Base 2 binary) 00010011 = (Base 10) = 19
2) Given and ASCII
chart convert base 10 to Base 2 to ASCII code.
Example:
- 01001000 = 72 = (look
on given ASCII chart to find 72) = H
3) Be able to exactly convert
between bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes, and Terabytes
- Example 1 : Exactly how
many bytes in 2 kilobytes = 2 kilobyte * 1024 = 2048 bytes
- Example 2 : Exactly how
many gigabytes are there in 1024 megabytes = 1024 megabytes / 1024 = 1
gigabyte
4) Be able to roughly convert between bytes, Kilobytes,
Megabytes, Gigabytes, and Terabytes
- Example 1 : Roughly how
many kilobytes are there in 3.15 gigabytes = 3.15 gigabytes * 1000 *
1000 = 3,150,000 kilobytes
- Example 2 : Roughly how
many gigabytes are there in 8972 kilobytes = 8972 kilobytes / 1000 /
1000 = .008972 gigabytes
