"The World is Digital" is a popular science books, from the hands of top computer scientist Brian W.kernighan, if you do not know who this person is, then you may know the practice of the programming Chinese name programming practice, BRIANW . Kernighan and R.pick co-authored, if you do not know the program design practice, then you certainly know the C programming Language, yes this k&r, is Kernighan and C language of the father of the book, this is known as the C language of the Bible , affecting the generation and generation of programmers.
The hardware part of the book is interesting to me and what's in the computer. The question can be seen in two ways: logically or functionally, the composition of what each part is, what to do, how to do it, how to connect it, and the physical structure of what each part looks like and how it is built. The basic composition of a computer, including the processor, storage of instructions and data, and input, which are often referred to as von Neumann architectures.
Simply speaking, the computer is a digital processor. They store and process discrete information, which is represented as discontinuous blocks with discontinuous values, which are basically values. The relative simulation information is the value of the smoothed change. Second, the computer uses BITS to represent information. A bit is a binary number, which is a value that is not 0 or 1. Everything in the computer is represented by bits. The computer uses binary internally instead of the familiar decimal again, and the larger information is represented by a bit group. Values, letters, words, names, music, photos, movies, and the instructions contained in the program that processes the information are represented by a bit group.
Finally, this book gives me more knowledge of computers and is a very good book.
