Old (06-07) TIK Computer Science at Jarvis C.I., Toronto

Here are 2 questions that will appear on the coming test on Norton, Lesson 7:

There will be a test on Lesson 7 (Transforming Data to Information) of the Norton textbook next week.

You may earn 90-95% by knowing only your notes. If you want a chance of earning 100%, review Lesson 7 of the textbook as well as studying your notes.

After the test, which will last 15-20 minutes, we will return to programming in Turing, so be sure to bring your Turing textbook.

Answers for both Part 1 and Part 2 of the questions on Norton, Lesson 7 are now in the Pickup Folder.

They are in a secured .pdf format so that you may make a copy of the file and read the answers, but you will not be able to print it or do a copy/paste of text from it.

Why did I do it this way? While you were reading and making notes on the chapter, your brain absorbed some of the information. Now some of the information in the notes is already stored in your mind. So studying for the text will be easier.

See? It looked like I was making you work for nothing, but actually I was doing you a favour. "Gosh , sir, now I get it!"

You may do this assignment in your handwriting or you may print it from a word processor. Be sure your full name and your period are at the top of the page.

(1) Write 6 letters of your name as text and binary.

(2) Then write the first three pairs of your student number as binary numbers. Be sure to encode the numbers as numbers in binary notation, not as ASCII characters. For example, take 91 as the number ninety-one, not a nine followed by a one.

See the following example:

Converting a decimal number to it binary equivalent is not difficult. Use the simple table technique shown at http://www.is.wayne.edu/olmt/binary/page3.htm
