Images and sound must both be converted into binary before a computer can store them. This topic compares bitmap and vector graphics, covering pixels, resolution, colour depth and the drawing list that defines a vector image, along with the situations each format suits. For sound, you will study sampling, sample rate and sample resolution, and how each affects quality and file size. Calculating the storage a given image or sound file requires is a frequent examination task.
