BCD is a weighted code and it uses the weights 8,4,2,1 respectively. It is often called the 8421 code. Since, it uses 4 bits for the representation therefore the weights are assigned as : 23 = 8, 22 = 4, 21 = 2, 20 = 1.

Gateways are used for this purpose. Gateways interconnect dissimilar networks, protocol conversion is performed by them.

Start is not a Keyword. Other words like read, write, if, else, etc are keywords and convey a special meaning.

The statement is true. Media literacy also develops our critical thinking. It also helps in the better understanding of how media shapes our culture.

IoT works from RFID to Sensor, to Smart tech and then to Nano tech.

Bernoulli disks are a type of magnetic hard disks and not floppy disks. They are also called as zip disks. It uses a single hard disk platter encased in a plastic cartidge.

The RISC which stands for Reduced Instruction set computer has a fixed length of instructions. It has a small instruction set. Also has reduced references to memory to retrieve operands.

Microprocessors don’t have memory and interfacing circuits. They follow Princeton architecture and they contain ALU, CU, and registers inside them.

There is no blocked state in a process model. The different states are ready, running, executing, waiting and terminated.

Narratives are about storytelling and story meaning. Media texts tell stories; they have a narrative.
