54 PointsPrimitive built in data types to sophisticated software? How?
www.cs.utah.edu/~germain?PPS/Topics/data_types.html
says "All computer programs, from brain scanners to video games to music players, use these same basic data types(numbers,booleans,strings,and data structures/objects) to represent all possible information." How?
(e.g. What data structure is a codec or an image? Are multimedia, UI, graphics,scanners etc. simply represented in terms of primitives?) One could build a web-crawler that reads web-pages as string (html, hyperlinks) but how do CSS and HTML do their job when rendering?
Any conherent way to think about this would help.
