If a computer is capable only of manipulating and storing integers, what difficulties present themselves? how are these difficulties overcome?

Answer explained below

Explanation:

Yes, the computer works only through bits. A bit is nothing but a binary digit which is either 1 or 0. Whatever may be the information, the information is being decoded into 0's and 1's by its underlying processor.

- The BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) in 6 bits variation is being used which represent characters and numbers. Lowercases were not a part of it.

- More information processing capability and uniformity was demanded by the designers of System 360.

- In order to maintain compatibility, the BCD 6 bits was expanded to 8 bits which are called Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code.

- IBM started to use EBCDIC.

- Instruction Set Architecture became complex and was solved through enhanced RISC and CISC types.

it would be a. excessive network collisions or d. slow connectivity between devices those would be my answer.
