The question was so easy.. i mean converting a number from binary to decimal then back to binary was a give away 4 marks.. and identifying the AND and NAND gates was easy too.. how did people "compare and contrast" them.. that threw me off a bit but overall the option was a giveaway 10-14 marks that i think evolution people could have done

What the hell is a control character?!
What the hell is a question about printers doing in a software exam.... In fact why is there hardware in there at all??? I guess if you are going on to write software, it is important that you know the inner workings of a printer..... wait that doesn't make sense!disco_dave said:

I liked it. And i was soo happy when i saw there was no dividing of binaries. Thats my biggest weakness. But yeah, the option i did in the half yearly (we did option 2nd topic) was harder than that.

do you know what the very last question, part C, was asking then??Rabz_17 said:
The control characters for printers are just the commands that tell it what to do eg. PRT "hello" (im just making it up) would print the word hello on the paper. Basically they instruct the printer what to do. Its in the syllabus
printer operation
– control characters for features,
including page throw, font change,
line spacing
As for the second part i took it as just making up you own commands to change font, text size, make text bold, use italics, indent text etc.
