DIGITAL INFORMATION
Course Outcome
Course Content Digital describes electronic technology
that generates, stores, and processes data in
terms of two states: positive and non-positive.
Positive is expressed or represented by the
number 1 and non-positive by the number 0.

Thus, data transmitted or stored with digital
technology is expressed as a string of 0's and
1's.

Each of these state digits is referred to as
a bit (and a string of bits that a computer can
address individually as a group is a byte).
