1. Which notation system supports presenting the largest numbers using the fewest digits:
Binary, Decimal, or Hexadecimal?
 The notational system that allows the largest numbers to be presented using the
fewest digits is Hexadecimal. Hex digit can store up to 16 bits, single decimal can
store 4 bits, and binary can only store 1 bit.
2. What is the decimal number 75 in binary and hexadecimal?
 The Binary form of 75 is 1001011, while its Hexadecimal form is 4B.
3. Which data type provides for whole numbers only?
 Integer; these numeric numbers do not have a decimal point but could have either
positive or negative sign.
4. What is the difference between the char and string data types?
 Char represents a single character, whereas String can have a zero or more
characters. Thus, a string is an array of chars. In Java application, we can specify
Char with a single quote (') and String using double quotes (").
5. Which data representation format can encode the widest range of characters?
 Unicode. It is the type of data representation format that is capable of encoding the
broadest number of characters.
6. What type of legal protection could be obtained for a novel software algorithm?
 The best protection for this kind of thing is provided by a patent, which can preserve
ownership even if someone attempts to recreate the algorithm bit differently.
However, software code is frequently covered by both patent and copyright.
7. What data protection technology could you implement in order to restrict the type of
activity that users could employ on digital products that they have purchased or rented?
 Digital Rights Management (DRM). It is the use of technology to limit and manage
access to content that is protected by intellectual property. Similarly, DRM refers to
the process of giving a computer program authority over digital content instead of the
person who owns it.
8. What part of the process of data analytics is most closely supported by meaningful
reporting?
 Insights, these are the things that guide important corporate decisions. It is the “end
product” of the analytic process. Hence, people need a proper reporting format to
make the maximum use of insights.
