What does the term binary data mean?
Binary data means 0's and 1's. That is, information that can be transmitted across a network and is understood by a computer. It doesn't matter what the 0's and 1's actually represent -- that is a matter for the programs that use the data.In point of fact, all data is binary. However plain-text (ASCII or UNICODE) is regarded as non-binary because it requires no special handling to translate the individual character codes back into a human-readable form. Video, image and sound files are all examples of binary data, because the data requires special handling to present the output in a form that humans can understand. Some binary data is never intended for humans, however. Executables, for instance, contain a mixture of binary data and plain text data, but the majority of that data is solely used by the computer itself -- machine code instructions to run the program. Portions of that code will translate into an interface that allow humans to interact with the program, producing yet more binary data that must be translated into a human-readable form, including plain text data.All data is binary, however binary data refers to any non-plain text data, such as images, sound files, videos and executables, or proprietary data formats such as word processing files or any data that requires special handling to present the information to the user. Plain text files are binary as well, but the transition from binary to text requires no special handling because every ASCII/UNICODE character code translates directly to a symbol that is human-readable -- all you need is a text reader. Many binary files contain a mixture of binary data and plain text, but only the plain text portion is readable, everything else must be translated, usually by the program that created the file in the first place.
What is stored on a computers harddrive?
Everything. All of the code that tells the computer how to boot up and shut down and all of your files and programs.
Do binary files cause viruses?
Binary file that has malicious code in it can create viruses. It depends on the programming on how it will be executed. Security of Operating System is considered on how handling such files.
Any file that contains data but not instructions for your computer is not considered software?
All files are considered to contain software, whether they contain instructions or not. The only files that are not considered to contain software are empty files (files with zero bytes of data).Notice that I wrote contain and not be. The files are not the software. Software is actually quite hard to describe because, unlike hardware which you can physically touch, software cannot be touched at all -- it is not physical in any sense of the word. Even the bits and bytes that constitute the software are not themselves software. If you think of early punch cards, the bits and bytes were physical entities that you could physically touch. They were hardware in every sense of the word! So what do we really mean by software?The easiest way to describe software is by analogy. Consider a book that tells a story. The story is intangible; we cannot touch it. The story is therefore the software. The words that contain the story merely symbolise the story. The story is only revealed to us within our mind's eye when we physically process those symbols, by reading them. The story is the realisation of the words.Software is exactly the same. The bits and bytes symbolise the software, but they are not the software themselves. Data files can be thought of as being pure data, with no instructions, while executable files are simply data files that also contain instructions. But both contain software which is only revealed to us by processing the bits and bytes within those files; thus the files contain the symbolic representation of the software.So, to answer the question that was asked, literally: any file that contains data but not instructions for your computer is not considered software -- but they do contain software. As do those that also contain instructions.
Why do programmes have numbers?
All programs and data have to be stored digitally, in binary.
How do you print all data in a Binary Search Tree?
By using Depth First Search or Breadth First search Tree traversal algorithm we can print data in Binary search tree.
What stores all files and data on disk?
A hard disk drive records data by magnetizing a thin film of ferromagnetic material on a disk. Sequential changes in the direction of magnetization represent binary data bits. The data is read from the disk by detecting the transitions in magnetization. User data is encoded using an encoding scheme, such as run-length limitedencoding, which determines how the data is represented by the magnetic transitions.
Can you delete files in the Application data folder if you no longer have those programs?
You can delete it all, they are temporary files.
Does binary molecular compounds contain carbon?
Some do (CO2, CH4), but not all (H2O, SF6).
What contains all configuration data about the computer including information about device drivers and devices used at start up?
The folder in which the windows is installed. it contain all the files and drivers.the Windows folder in the C drive.
Does the form contain all the database data in access?
No.
How can delete all data in tally 5.4?
Just go to the data subdir under the tally subdir & delete all the files
