, 1.1.1
Binary Systems
• Recognise the use of binary numbers in computer systems
• Convert positive denary integers into binary and positive binary integers into denary (a maximum of
16 bits will be used)
• Show understanding of the concept of a byte and how the byte is used to measure memory size
• Use binary in computer registers for a given application (such as in robotics, digital instruments and
counting systems)
1.1.2
Hexadecimal
• Represent positive numbers in hexadecimal notation
• Show understanding of the reasons for choosing hexadecimal notation to represent numbers
• Convert positive hexadecimal integers to and from denary (a maximum of four hexadecimal digits will be required)
• Convert positive hexadecimal integers to and from binary (a maximum of 16 bit binary numbers will be required)
• Represent numbers stored in registers and main memory as hexadecimal
• Identify current uses of hexadecimal numbers in computing, such as defining colours in Hypertext Markup Language
(HTML), Media Access Control (MAC) addresses, assembly languages and machine code, debugging
