Data Representation

A bit is the smallest unit of data, represented as 0 or 1, while a check digit helps verify the accuracy of entered numbers. ASCII is a 7-bit character encoding system, and extended ASCII includes additional characters; Unicode expands this to 32 bits. Compression reduces file size, with lossy compression removing data and lossless compression preserving all information.
