It is connected to the earth and is the point of reference for voltages in the circuit.
Page 171 hexadecimal: The base-16 numbering system used by programmers to represent binary numbers. Digits above 9 are represented by letters (the 15 digits are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F). Two hexadecimal digits are equivalent to the eight bits in a byte.
Page 172 input/output (I/O): Input and output are two of the three functions that computers perform (the other is processing). Input/Output describes the interrelated tasks of providing information to the computer and providing the results of processing to users. I/O devices include keyboards (input) and printers (output). A disk drive is both an input and an output device, since it can both provide information to the computer and receive information from the computer.
Page 173 keyboard: The device you use to type information into the computer. Each key on the keyboard is a switch that is activated when you press it. The switch sends a specific code, representing the character printed on the key, to the processor. keyboard shortcut: A key or combination of keys you use to perform a task instead of using a pointing device, such as a mouse.
