    This document discusses various data representation concepts. It defines a doubly linked list as containing pointers to both the next and previous elements. Floating point notation represents a number as a mantissa multiplied by an exponent of two. Long or double precision integers store numbers in double the normal number of bit positions. Larger numeric representations allow for a greater range of representable values. Assembly languages typically use hexadecimal to represent memory addresses. A data structure contains multiple primitive data items. Characters in IBM mainframes are coded according to EBCDIC. A pointer stores the address of another data item. A radix point separates whole and fractional numbers. A string is a character array. Most Intel CPUs use segmented memory with two-number addresses. Linked

    Data Representation
    Vocabulary Exercises

    1. An element in a(n) doubly linked list contains pointers to both the next and previous list elements.

    2.Floating point notation encodes a real number as a mantissa multiplied by a power (exponent) of two.

    3. A(n) long or double precision integer is an integer stored in double the normal number of bit positions.

    4. Increasing the size (number of bits) of a numeric representation format increases the numeric range of values

    that can represented.

    5. Assembly language programs for most computers usehexadeci mal notation to represent memory address values.

    6. A(n) data structure is a data item composed of multiple primitive data items.

    7. In IBM mainframe computers, characters are coded as numbers according to the Extended Binary Coded

    Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC) coding scheme.

    8. A(n)pointe r is the address of another data item or structure.

    9. In a positional numbering system the radix point separates digits representing whole number quantities from digits representing

    fractional quantities.

    10. A(n)string is an array of characters.

    11. Most Intel CPUs implement a(n) segmented memory model where each memory address is represented by two integers.

    12. A set of data items that can be accessed in a specified order using a set of pointers is called a(n) linked list or index.

    13. A(n)byte contains eight bits.

    14. A(n) singly linked list stores one pointer with each list element.

    15. The result of adding, subtracting, or multiplying twointeg ers may result in overflow, but neverunderflow or truncation.

    16. A(n)ar ray is a sequence of primitive data elements stored in sequential storage locations.

    17. A(n)reco rd is a group of data elements that usually describe a single entity or event.

    18. A(n)boolean data item can only contain the values true or false.

    19. A(n)index is an array of data items, each of which contains a key value and a pointer to another data item.

    20. Many computers implement double precision numeric data types to provide greater accuracy and prevent

    overflow and underflow.
