Lecture 3

The flag of Bangladesh has 3 colors - green, red and red. Assuming each pixel uses 24-bit color (3 bytes per pixel), the size of the file would be: Width of image = 1500 pixels Each pixel uses 3 bytes Total number of pixels = Width x Height = 1500 x 1000 = 15,00,000 pixels Size of each pixel = 3 bytes Total size of file = Number of pixels x Size per pixel = 15,00,000 x 3 = 45,00,000 bytes = 45 MB Therefore, the size of the image file is 45 MB.

REPRESENTING DATA

CSE 1110 – Introduction to Computer Systems


Course teacher: Asnuva Tanvin
REPRESENTING TEXTS
TEXT FILE
A text, or a string, is a collection of characters
Any symbol that can be written is called a character
 Letters
 Digits
 Punctuation marks
 Special characters
 Whitespaces!
 New lines!!
REPRESENTING CHARACTERS
IN BINARY
Every character has its own unique binary code
When we write a text, the computer stores these binary codes in the exact order of
our writing
Can we code the characters as we wish?
ASCII CODE
American Standard Code for Information Interchange
Used to represent English and Roman characters
Size: 7 bits
 How many total characters?

Extended ASCII
 8 bits
 First 128 codes are same as ASCII
 The remaining codes represent even more characters

UNICODE
A standard code that contains characters from a vast variety of languages
Usually 1 to 6 bytes
 Variable size!!!

Texts we see nowadays are usually Unicode


The first 256 characters are the same as ASCII
 Backward compatibility
Once upon a time

CONSTRUCTION OF A TEXT
FILE
A text file (of ASCII encoding) contains the ASCII values of each characters in that
file, sequentially
If a text file contains characters, its size is bytes

The size of this file is 16 bytes


REPRESENTING IMAGES
HOW DOES A COMPUTER
SHOW ITS CONTENTS IN
A MONITOR?
BASIC MECHANISM OF
MONITOR
A monitor contains a lot of small blocks named pixels (picture elements)
Each pixel is illuminated with some color
The pixels are so small that we cannot separate it from the others
How many pixels are there in the projector screen?
 Hint: What is the resolution of the screen?
DRAWING AN IMAGE
HOW TO REPRESENT
COLOR?
COLORING A PIXEL
Remember physics class?
 Colors
 Basic colors
 How many basic colors?

Every pixel has three color components – Red, Green and Blue
 1 byte space for each color – 3 bytes for each pixel

These colors are mixed to get all the colors


24 bit color scheme
DIFFERENT COLORS
Color R G B Hex code
Red 255 0 0 #ff0000
Blue 0 0 255 #0000ff
Green 0 255 0 #00ff00
Yellow 0 255 255 #00ffff
Pink 255 0 255 #ff00ff
Purple 138 43 226 #8a2be2
Black 0 0 0 #000000
White 255 255 255 #ffffff

HEX CODE
RGB(138, 43, 226)
Convert to Hexadecimal

8a 2b e2
Hex code: #8a2be2

SIZE OF AN IMAGE FILE

Image file resolution: 24x10 File size = ?


SIZE OF AN IMAGE FILE
Image resolution = 24x10
Total number of pixels = 240
3 bytes for each pixel
Total size = 240x3 = 720B
TRY YOURSELF
What is the size of an image file of resolution 1000x800?
TRY YOURSELF
An image file contains the flag of Bangladesh. If its width is 1500
pixels, what is the size of the file?
