Binary-coded decimal Binary-coded decimal In computing and electronic systems, binary-coded decimal (BCD) is a class of binary encodings of decimal numbers where each decimal digit is represented by a fixed number of bits, usually four or eight. Special bit patterns are sometimes used for a sign or for other indications (e.g., error or overflow). In byte-oriented systems (i.e. most modern computers), the term "unpacked" BCD usually implies a full byte for each digit (often including a sign), whereas "packed" BCD typically encodes two decimal digits within a single byte by taking advantage of the fact that four bits are enough to represent
One-to-one computing there are sometimes individual schools going 1:1 or experimenting. Bombay school 1:1: Tiki School: Uddevalla Municipality 1:1 Chromebooks: Oak Lawn Kimbolton, UK Please note that Ranchodistrict are having an auction selling their 570 iPads which greatly reduces the credibility of a report they are swapping their chromebooks for iPads. One-to-one computing In the context of education, one-to-one computing (sometimes abbreviated as "1:1") refers to academic institutions, such as schools or colleges, that allow each enrolled student to use an electronic device in order to access the Internet, digital course materials, and digital textbooks. The concept has been actively explored and
