Another Monday morning and another early exam, seriously what is up with having exams that start at 9am? I live at-least an hour away from RMIT and i dont like having to get up at 7am just to go sit an exam.

Computer Systems 1, one of the better subjects for the semester, full of interesting topics and situations, i quite enjoyed it.

From number and logic systems and to Assembly Programming fro the Motorola 68K, it has been an interesting challenge keeping up with all of the course material, assignments and the exam, which went quite well. I did maybe 2 days of full on study and went into the exam confident of success. On the whole it went really well, and am not at all worried about my results for that subject.

I’ll leave you with some examples of questions from some past paper’s.

2. Convert the ASCII character ‘D’ into a suitable Hamming code that can detect and correct a single error. Use EVEN parity. Write your final answer in hexadecimal.

4 marks
