What is the term used to describe the process of converting digital data into a format that can be transmitted over a network? [#1487]

Encoding is the process of converting digital data into a specific format that can be transmitted over a network. This format is often used to ensure compatibility between different devices and systems.

The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a firmware program embedded in a computer's motherboard. Its primary function is to initialize the computer's hardware components when it is first turned on. It checks the system's configuration, tests the components, and loads the operating system into memory.

Computer code refers to the instructions that a computer can understand and execute. Source code is human-readable code written by programmers using a high-level programming language (e.g., Python, Java, C++).Object code is the output of a compiler after translating source code into machine-readable instructions, but it's not yet executable on its own and often needs to be linked with other object files. Machine code is the lowest-level programming language, directly executable by a computer's CPU. It consists of binary instructions (0s and 1s).Bytecode is an intermediate form of code that is typically executed by a virtual machine (like the Java Virtual Machine). It's platform-independent.

The options listed are related to character encoding schemes, which are methods of representing text characters in computers. ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a widely used character encoding standard that represents text in computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devices. BCD (Binary-Coded Decimal) is a method of encoding decimal numbers where each decimal digit is represented by its own binary sequence. While primarily for numbers, it's a form of data representation or "code." EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code) is another character encoding standard, primarily used on IBM mainframe operating systems.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the fundamental language used to create the structure and content of a web page. While CSS is essential for styling and JavaScript adds interactivity, HTML is the core language that defines the basic building blocks of a website, such as headings, paragraphs, images, and links. Without HTML, you wouldn't have a web page to style or add interactivity to.

RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that stores data temporarily while the computer is running. It is used to hold data that the CPU needs to access quickly, such as programs and data being used by applications.

USB drives are commonly used for storage, data backup, and transferring files between devices. USB drives come in multiple storage capacities and different ports, each having a unique shape. Using a USB drive can differ depending on the type of computer that you want to connect to. A typical USB drive is removable, rewritable, and smaller than an optical disc.
