What is the storage capacity of register?

The storage capacity of a register is determined by the architecture. Thus they are 32 bits long on a 32-bit system and 64 bits long on a 64-bit system.


How many bits are required to store AR in computer memory?

In ASCII code, each letter, number or punctuation mark takes one byte, or 8 bits. That gives you 256 discrete combinations. Two letters take 2 bytes, or 16 bits.


How many bits are required to represent double data type in memory?

It differs slightly depending on what platform your computer uses or what language you are using. for the Java programming language, which is platform independent, it is 64-bits.


Which is a system where one computer is in standby mode when the other computer is functioning normally?

duplex system


What is a 'word' in computer language?

In computing, a word is the basic unit of data for a particular architecture. For instance, on a 32-bit system a word is 32-bits long (equivalent to 4 bytes). On a 64-bit system a word is 64-bits long (8 bytes). Computer languages that use a native WORD data type will typically reflect the underlying architecture. For instance, a PASCAL WORD is typically 32-bits long on a 32-bit system. However, it should never be assumed that this is always the case. For instance, C++ does not have a native WORD data type, but it is often included as a user-defined type and is often the equivalent of a C++ short (meaning short word), which is typically only 16-bits long on a 32-bit system. Note that in computer languages, it is never safe to assume the length of any data type is going to be the same length on all architectures for all languages. For this reason, all computer languages include a built-in sizeof() operator or an equivalent function that will determine the actual length of any given data type. Thus in C++, sizeof( WORD) will tell you exactly how long the user-defined WORD data type really is (in bytes). In PASCAL, the SizeOf() function does the same thing.

How many bits does your laptop have?

The easiest way to find out how many bits your laptop has is to open the system info in the control panel. First click the "Start" button on your desktop, then go to control panel and click "system." All your computer's operating specifications.


How many bits are in a 264-bit system?

A 264-bit system has 64 bits.


What is meaning 16 bit machine?

A 16 bit computer is one where the internal registers in the computer's CPU are made from 16 wires in parallel. Computer registers, in the main, started with 8bits, grew to 16 bits, then to 32 bits and now are mainly 64 bits wide. You need an operating system 'made' for each 'bit' size. For instance Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system is currently available in both 32 and 64 bit versions. The more the bits available the larger the value of an integer number that can be processed by the CUP in a single clock cycle.

What is bits?

Bits are way measuring data. Eight bits equal one byte. One thousand bytes equal one kilobyte. One thousand kilobytes equal one megabyte and so on.


How can you describe computer as a digital system?

In it's simplest terms, a computer is actually a digital binary system. It is a very large number of containers or "bits" which are either numbered one ( for on) or zero (for off). As an electrical charge stores these alternating bit values, it is a digital system.

What is bit error rate?

In a computer system, the bit error rate is based on the percentage of bits transmitted and received compared to those that resulted in error.
