PGIMLSAN
Measuring a sound wave thousands of times per second and storing each measurement as a binary number.
6
XLIPE
A tiny square of colour that images are built from, stored as RGB numbers in binary.
7
EATHRACCR OEDC
A number assigned to a letter or symbol so a computer can store and display it.
8
EKACPT
A small chunk of data, labelled with an address, sent across a network and reassembled at its destination.
