Which of the following is NOT true of how computers represent complex information?
A. Computing devices use patterns of bits to represent complex information
B. Abstraction helps represent complex information by surfacing complexity that might otherwise be hidden
C. Depending on context the same sequence of bits may represent different types of information
D. Common abstractions that are represented by computing devices include numbers, characters, and color.
Which of the following is NOT true of how computers represent complex information?
Answer: C. Depending on context the same sequence of bits may represent different types of information.
This statement is NOT true. In computing, the same sequence of bits typically represents the same type of information unless explicitly programmed or configured to do otherwise. The interpretation of data depends on the data type and context specified by the software or system handling the information.
