Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Assume a letter D is sent as binary into the computer, in what form will the CPU calculate how to display the letter D?
A
draw-by-draw
B
form-by-form
C
pixel-by-pixel
D
tint-by-tint
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Computers convert text and other data into binary with an assigned ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interexchange) value. Once the ASCII value is known, that value can be converted to binary.

Detailed explanation-2: -With binary, the light is either on or off, with no other possible states. These bits are strung together as different combinations of ones and zeroes, and they form a kind of code. Your computer then rapidly processes this code and translates it into data, telling it what to do.

Detailed explanation-3: -In order for the computer to store the image, each pixel is represented by a binary value. We call this representation of colours a “bit-plane”. Each bit doubles the number of available colours i.e. 1-bit would give us 2 colours, 2-bits would give us 4 colours and 3-bits would give us 8 colours etc.
