Binary, Hex and Data Units

The topic that costs more marks than any other on the paper, taught by hand. Bits and bytes, binary and hex in all six directions, the 1000-versus-1024 trap, file sizes, transmission times, overflow, two's complement and character sets. Every module ends in a timed drill marked the way an examiner marks it.

Briefing

A student came to me with one week before her CAIE paper and could not convert KiB to MiB. She was not weak. She had been taught the topic three times and every time it was demonstrated on a calculator, which is no use at all in a room where you do not have one. This segment fixes that by making you write the same eight numbers down at the top of every single question — 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 — until you do it without deciding to. That is the whole method. It is slower than a trick for the first twenty minutes and faster than a trick for the rest of your life, and it does not fall apart when you are frightened. You will do binary to denary, denary to binary, binary to hex, hex to binary, denary to hex and hex to denary, all by hand. You will learn why a 1 TB drive shows up as 931 GB and which of those two numbers the examiner wants. You will calculate the size of an image and the time to send it. You will make a byte overflow, store a negative number in it, and look at the actual bits of the letter A. Every module ends with timed questions written in mark-scheme language — what earns the mark, and the answer that looks right and earns nothing. Written against the published topic lists for CAIE IGCSE 0478, UK GCSE Computer Science and IB CS SL. Every question is original and modelled on the shape of exam questions; no past paper or mark scheme is reproduced. Korra Academy is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any exam board.

01 Bits, Bytes and Base Two
3 Lektionen·1h 18m

You are not learning a trick today. You are learning a habit. Every conversion question in this segment starts by writing eight numbers across the top of your working, and you write them even when…
02 Hex, and the 1024 Trap
3 Lektionen·1h 28m

Hex is not a new number system you have to learn. It is binary, grouped in fours, so that people can read it out loud. If you can convert four bits you can already do hex — you just do not know it…
03 Negatives, Overflow and Characters
3 Lektionen·1h 25m

Everything so far assumed the number fits. This module removes that assumption. A byte is a fixed-size container, and the interesting behaviour starts at the moment you try to put something in it…

Mehr in Programming

Beginner First Program — Scratch for ages 5–9 Nine Scratch blocks, three sessions of about twenty-five minutes, and one small program a child of five to nine builds themselves. Written for the parent sitting beside them: what to click, what they will get stuck on, what to say when it goes wrong, and when to keep your hands off the mouse.

Beginner Python vom leeren Blatt Die genaue Abfolge, die neun Studierende bereits gegangen sind: von einer leeren Datei zu einem Programm, das Fragen stellt, Antworten überprüft und fehlerhafte Eingaben ablehnt. Keine Vorkenntnisse in Programmierung. Keine Mathematik. Du wirst es absichtlich mehrfach zum Scheitern bringen.

Beginner AI ohne Hype Was das Modell tatsächlich tut, wenn es antwortet, warum das wie Denken aussieht, warum es Zitate erfindet, und die Kostenmechanik, die fast niemand erklärt: Ein Chat sendet das gesamte Gespräch bei jedem Zug erneut. Du wirst die Rechnung selbst durchführen.

Intermediate IGCSE und GCSE Computer Science — Theorie, die beim Examen tatsächlich Punkte bringt Der Theorieteil der Prüfung, vermittelt so, dass er im Examen verfügbar bleibt. Die Memory Hierarchy und was beim Hochfahren tatsächlich passiert. Compiler, Interpreter und Assembler, einschließlich der Antwort, die richtig klingt und null Punkte bringt. Datenbanken vom Spreadsheet bis zu Keys und Normalisation. DNS und der vollständige Weg von der Enter-Taste bis zum Seitenladescreen. Systemsoftware und der Ethik- und Rechtsabschnitt, der die leichtesten zehn Punkte der Prüfung sind.

Intermediate Programming for the Exam — Python Answers That Score The programming half of the paper, taught at exam pitch. Pseudocode translated both ways, because the mark scheme is written in a notation nobody practises. Trace tables done column by column, including the ones with a loop and a condition inside it. Linear and binary search, bubble and insertion sort, what each costs and the comparison questions boards love. Validation against verification, and the boundary test data everybody forgets. Procedures against functions, and a systematic method for finding your own error with four minutes left.

Beginner AI at Your Desk You have an office job, you are losing hours a week, and you do not care how any of this works. Four tasks from your own week, each done twice and timed. A fifth you should not have handed over. You finish with real work done and a page of your own numbers you can show someone.
