1. Number systems
- Binary
- Octal
- Decimal
- Hexadecimal
1. Binary Number System –
Binary Number system is required in Computers as 0 (off) and 1(on) as it is a digital
system.
- It is of the Base 2.
- 0 and 1 are the only two digits in this system.
2. Octal Number System
Octal Number system is created by joining 3 digits of the Binary Number system.
- It is of the Base 8.
- 0 - 7 are the digits in this system.

3. Hexadecimal Number System
Hexadecimal Number system is created by joining 4 digits of the Binary
Number system.
- It is of the Base 16.
- 0 – 9 and A-F are the digits in this system.
4. Tabular Format of the number system.
Binary numbers
0 – 15

3. Character/String representation.
12. ASCII Code
stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It is a
predetermined set of codes for each recognized letter, number and
symbol.
Below is the ASCII character table, including descriptions of the first
32 characters.
Only remember A and a value

13. ISCII Code
Indian Script Code for Information Interchange (ISCII) is a coding
scheme for representing various writing systems of India. This is useful
for including Indian languages in Coding standards. This makes data-
interchange possible.
14. Unicode – Universal Character Set
An international encoding standard for use with different languages and
scripts, by which each letter, digit, or symbol is assigned a
unique numeric value that applies across different platforms and
programs.
This is useful for :-
1. To define all the characters needed for writing the majority of known
languages in use on computers in one place.
2. To be a superset of all other character sets that have been encoded.
- UTF -8 : UTF-8 is a variable -width encoding that can represent
every character in Unicode character set. It can use 1 to 6
bytes , till now it has used upto 4 bytes or octets for
representing data. It is a type of multi byte encoding.
Sometimes it uses 8 bits to store the character, other times, 16
or 24 or more bits. It is the most popular encoding scheme.
- UTF-32 : UTF-32 is a fixed length encoding scheme that uses
exactly 4 bytes to represent all Unicode code points. That is , it
directly stores the binary code of any Unicode code point in 4
bytes.
