Representing Information


We can represent numbers and characters with bits that represent two states: 0 or 1.

For instance, the bar code which can be found on every product that we purchase is just a set of binary numbers.


Representing information with two states seems impossible: however we all have played the game "who am I?":
by answering questions with "no" or "yes", you can guess the name of the person that the player is thinking of.

We have looked at how information can be represented.
Let's look at the size of information!
