Ok I've got a practice homework question for my Hardware Design class and it states:
Quote:
These days, a typical computer word is either 32 or 64 bits long. For each word size, and for each of the following encodings, determine the number of non-negative integers that can be represented:
a. Using binary encoding
b. Using BCD encoding
c. Using ASCII encoding

i dont even know where to start, can someone point me in the right direction? Any help would be appreciated
