Summary

This free appendix contains two short sections of A Level material that may be covered in either Year 1 or Year 2 depending on your pattern of delivery. Floating point numbers, although part of the Year 2 specification, may be taught at AS as an extension to related AS Topics in the Data representation section for example.

The unit is subdivided into two topics, plus a test. It is a theoretical unit covering the relevant sections of the AQA A Level Computer Science specification.

One of the major reasons I love PG Online resources is the fact that they are simple, editable powerpoint and Word documents, not tied down with non-editable pdfs.
