👉 Computing quantities refer to the fundamental units and operations used in processing and manipulating data. At the base level, we have bits, which are the smallest units of information and can exist in one of two states: 0 or 1. These bits are combined using logical operations like AND, OR, and NOT to form more complex expressions and computations. For example, the expression "A AND (B OR 1)" means that if both A and B are true, the result is true; otherwise, it's false. When dealing with multiple bits, we move to bytes (8 bits), which form the basis of most digital data storage and processing. Larger units include words (groups of bytes, often 32 or 64 bits), kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), terabytes (TB), and so on, each representing increasing amounts of data. Operations at these levels include arithmetic (addition, subtraction), comparison (greater than, less than), and bitwise operations (AND, OR, XOR, NOT). These operations are essential for algorithms, data structures, and the overall functioning of computers, enabling everything from simple calculations to complex artificial intelligence tasks.
