A blood glucose test measures the amount of a sugar called glucose in a sample of your blood. Glucose is a major source of energy for most cells of the body, including brain cells. Carbohydrates are found in fruit, cereal, bread, pasta, and rice. They are quickly turned into glucose in your body.
A binary variable is the same thing as a â bit â in computer science or a âtruth valueâ in mathematical logic. They are basically different names for the same thing, much like statisticians call a Bell curve a â Normal Distribution â and physicists call it a â Gaussian distribution .â.
Definition. All data in a computer system consists of binary information. ' Binary ' means there are only 2 possible values: 0 and 1. Computer software translates between binary information and the information you actually work with on a computer such as decimal numbers, text, photos, sound, and video.istorically, computer systems used 8 bits to encode characters. ASCII is an example of 7-bit binary code, but more recent character sets use 8-bit binary code (or 16-bit or 32-bit). As a result, 8 bits became the unit for storing data and it was named byte - 1 byte stores 1 character.
