0300.  How would the character ‘5’ be stored in RAM (EXACTLY)?

 

We know that the character ‘5’ is really the numeric value 53. In binary, the value is:

 

2 | 53  à  1                 

2 | 26  à  0

2 | 13  à  1                  Collecting from bottom to top, we get the binary value: 1101012

2 |   6  à  0                                                     (On 6-bits)

2 |   3  à  1

2 |   1  à  1

 

HOWEVER, a character is stored on 8-bits, so we must add leding zeros:
