Lab Data Types and Representation - echadbourne/ChadbourneSYS-140 GitHub Wiki

Link to Lab Submission: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k6kTvBPw8PS2YaThV4AZRN9C7ocUmywK_e-G15Nbwus/edit?usp=sharing Summary:

• In this lab we explored using a hex editor to see the contents of files, and how different file types record different information based on how they will be used later. We also looked into searching in the hex editor and searching for different data types. In addition, we looked at how signed and unsigned numbers can really affect the values they contain, and how if you don’t know if it is signed or not the value can be wildly off.

Definitions:

• There were no new definitions that stood out to me.

Issues:

• I did not totally understand how the search function in the hex editor works. I still don’t fully understand it, but I was able to figure out some of how it works by messing around with it.
