Day 23 – Chapter 3: Advanced Data Representation

Class 11 Computer Science

Introduction to Advanced Data Representation (उन्नत डेटा प्रतिनिधित्व का परिचय)

Advanced data representation refers to techniques used for representing complex numerical data, such as floating-point numbers, and ensuring data integrity using error detection and correction.
उन्नत डेटा प्रतिनिधित्व में जटिल संख्यात्मक डेटा जैसे फ्लोटिंग-पॉइंट नंबरों का प्रतिनिधित्व करना और त्रुटि पहचान और सुधार के माध्यम से डेटा की अखंडता सुनिश्चित करना शामिल है।

Floating-Point Representation (फ्लोटिंग-पॉइंट प्रतिनिधित्व)

Floating-point representation is a method to represent real numbers that cannot be represented as integers. It uses scientific notation in the form: ± Mantissa × Base^Exponent.
फ्लोटिंग-पॉइंट प्रतिनिधित्व वह विधि है जो वास्तविक संख्याओं को प्रदर्शित करती है जिन्हें पूर्णांक के रूप में नहीं दिखाया जा सकता।

• Components:
  • Mantissa: The significant digits of the number.
  • Exponent: The power to which the base is raised.
  • Base: The number system used (e.g., base 10, base 2).
• Example: 6.023 × 10²³

Error Detection Techniques (त्रुटि पहचान तकनीक)

Error detection techniques ensure the accuracy of data during transmission or storage. त्रुटि पहचान तकनीक डेटा के संचरण या भंडारण के दौरान सटीकता सुनिश्चित करती है।

• Parity Bit: Adds a bit to ensure the total number of 1s is even (even parity) or odd (odd parity).
• Checksum: Summation of data blocks to verify accuracy.
• CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check): Uses polynomial division to detect errors in transmitted data.

Error Correction Techniques (त्रुटि सुधार तकनीक)

Error correction techniques not only detect but also fix errors in data.
त्रुटि सुधार तकनीक न केवल त्रुटियों का पता लगाती है बल्कि उन्हें ठीक भी करती है।

• Hamming Code: Uses redundancy bits to identify and correct single-bit errors.
• Re-transmission: Requests data to be sent again when errors are detected.
