Conversion from decimal • The conversion of a decimal integer into a base r is done by: – Whole numbers: divisions by r – Fractions: repeated multiplication by r. 3/5/2021 CAP 221 11
Conversion from decimal To convert from decimal to any numbering system with base r : • The decimal number is divided by r, • Keeping the remainder aside, the result is further divided by r, and the new remainder is kept aside, • The new result is divided again by r, and so on till the result is less than r and this would be the last remainder, • The remainders make up the equivalent base-r number, with the last remainder being the most-significant digit and the first remainder being the least-significant digit. 3/5/2021 CAP 221 12

Representation of signed binary numbers • Given a fixed number of bit positions (n), we n can represent 2 patterns: From (00. . 0)2 to (11. . 1)2. • Using unsigned numbers we can represent n 0 → 2 -1 n • Using signed numbers → 2 positive & negative patterns 3/5/2021 CAP 221 34
Complementary notations • The most commonly used way of representing signed numbers. It greatly simplifies all arithmetic operations. • Positive number is represented as it is (like an unsigned positive number). • Negative numbers are represented by the complement of unsigned number. 3/5/2021 CAP 221 35
Complementary notations • The value used for complementation is a power of the base or less one than a power of the base. • For binary numbers: we have 2’s complement and 1’s complement. • For decimals, we have 10’s complement and 9’s complement. • For hex. Numbers we have 16’s complement and F’s (15’s) complement. 3/5/2021 CAP 221 36
One’s complement • Is obtained by subtracting the number from (11. . 1)2 (n 1’s) → reversing each bit: changing every 1 to 0 and every 0 to 1. • Ex. : represent +(14 d), -(14 d) in 8 -bit binary number • (+14)10 = ( 00001110)2 = (00001110)1 s • (-14)10 = -( 00001110)2 = (11110001)1 s 3/5/2021 CAP 221 37
For 8 -bits number system: • Largest positive number: 0 1111111 = +(127)10 • smallest negative number: 1 0000000 = - (127)10 • Zeroes: 0 0000000 1 1111111 • Range: m-1 - (2 -1) to + 2 -1 (m : the number of bits) • -(127)10 to +(127)10 • The most significant bit represents the sign: 0 = +ve ; 1 = -ve. 3/5/2021 CAP 221 38
2’s complement • Take the 1’s complement and add 1 → invert all the bits and add 1. • Ex. : 2’s complement of (01110100)2: 1’s complement = (10001011)2 add 1 → 2’s complement = (10001100)2 3/5/2021 CAP 221 39
2’s complement • 2’s complement of (0000)2: 1’s complement = (1111)2 add 1 → (10000)2 • 2’s complement of n-bit number include only the rightmost n bits: 2’s complement of (0000)2 = (0000)2 3/5/2021 CAP 221 40
2’s complement - For 8 -bit binary numbers 2’s complement of (5)d = (00000101)2: 1’s complement = (11111010)2 add 1→ (11111011)2 510 + (-5)10 → 000001012 + 111110112 = 100002 Carry 2’s complement of any N integer represents –N: N + (-N) = 0 3/5/2021 CAP 221 41
2’s complement • To find the 2’s complement of a binary number, proceeding from right to left, leave all bits unchanged up to and including the first `1`. Reverse all the remaining bits. • Range of signed value that can be represented in 2’s complemented notation is m-1 - 2 to 2 -1 3/5/2021 CAP 221 42
For 8 -bits number system: • Largest positive number: 0 1111111 = +(127)10 • smallest negative number: 1 0000000 = - (128)10 • Zero: 0 0000000 • Range: -(128)10 to +(127)10 • The most significant bit represents the sign: • 0 = +ve ; 1 = -ve. 3/5/2021 CAP 221 43
2’s complement in hexadecimal • Each group of four bits corresponds to a single hexadecimal digit. • Subtract each hexadecimal digit from F and then add 1 (equivalent of taking the 16’s complement). 3/5/2021 CAP 221 44
Ex. : 2’s complement of (3 A 6 E)16 1’s complement: FFFF - 3 A 6 E C 591 + 1 2’s complement: (C 592)16 3/5/2021 CAP 221 45
Comparing 2’s complement numbers Check the signs: If they differ, they determine the order If they are the same, the order of the numbers is the same as that of their representations. 3/5/2021 CAP 221 46
Ex. : (01001100)2 and (10100101)2 Different signs → the 1 st # is +ve the 2 nd # is –ve → 1 st # > 2 nd # 3/5/2021 CAP 221 47
(10110010)2 and (10111001)2 • Both numbers are negative: 1 st # < 2 nd # 3/5/2021 CAP 221 48
Signed binary arithmetic Overflow • Signed binary numbers are of a fixed range. • If the result of addition/subtraction goes beyond this range, overflow occurs. • Two conditions under which overflow can occur are: (i) positive add positive gives negative (ii) negative add negative gives positive 3/5/2021 CAP 221 49
2 s complement addition Algorithm: • Perform binary addition on the two numbers. • Ignore the carry out of the MSB. • Check for overflow: Overflow occurs if the carriers into and out of the MSB are different. 3/5/2021 CAP 221 50

CODING • The most fundamental problem of coding is to get as much information as possible in a fixed-length representation. • In binary: How many different binary numbers we can write with n bits for a fixed n n? → 2 numbers. 3/5/2021 CAP 221 61
Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) • • Decimal numbers are more natural to humans. Binary numbers are natural to computers. Quite expensive to convert between the two. If little calculation is involved, we can use some coding schemes for decimal numbers. 3/5/2021 CAP 221 62
Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) • • One such scheme is BCD, also known as the 8421 code. Represent each decimal digit as a 4 -bit binary code. 3/5/2021 CAP 221 63
Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) • Some codes are unused, eg: (1010)BCD, (1011)BCD, …, (1111)BCD. These codes are considered as errors. • Easy to convert, but arithmetic operations are more complicated. 3/5/2021 CAP 221 64
Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) • Examples: (234)10 = (0010 0011 0100)BCD (7093)10 = (0111 0000 1001 0011)BCD (1000 0110)BCD = (86)10 (1001 0100 0111 0010)BCD = (9472)10 Note: • BCD is not equivalent to binary. • Example: (234)10 = (11101010)2 3/5/2021 CAP 221 65
Character data type • Apart from numbers, computers also handle textual data. • Internally all computers represent characters by storing them as binary data • Character set frequently used includes: alphabets: ‘A’. . ‘Z’, and ‘a’. . ‘z’ digits: ‘ 0’. . ‘ 9’ special symbols: ‘$’, ‘, ’, ‘@’, ‘*’, … non-printable: line feed, bell, … 3/5/2021 CAP 221 66
Character data type • Usually, these characters can be represented using 7 or 8 bits. • Two important issues concerning the character codes: - The size i. e. the # of bits used to represent each character. - The collating sequence. 3/5/2021 CAP 221 67
Character data type • Standard encoding of character data is 8 -bit. • Each character was to be represented as a string of 8 -binary digits and there a total 8 of 2 (256) unique characters available. • widely used standard: ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange); 7 -bit the code fits into a byte, with the most significant bit set to 0 3/5/2021 CAP 221 68
ASCII • ASCII code is really 7 -bit code → 128 ASCII codes • 2 calsses of characters: - Printable characters ( code 2016 (408)→ 7 E 16 (1768) ) displayed on screen, or printed on printer. They consist of: . Special characters e. g. $, #, %, <, >, =. Numbers: 0─9. Uppercase characters: A ─ Z. Lowercase characters: a ─ z 3/5/2021 CAP 221 69
ASCII • Control characters: (0 ─ 1 F 16 (378) , 7 F 16 (1778) ). These do not cause a character to be printed but instead initiate some action, control the operation of devices (e. g. tab, LF, CR, ring bell) or convey some status information. 3/5/2021 CAP 221 70
ASCII Example • What is the internal ASCII code for the character string `123`? `1` `2` `3` 0618 0628 0638 3116 3216 3316 00110001 00110010 0011 → 0011000100100011 3/5/2021 CAP 221 71
ASCII • This example points up that the representation of the character string `123` is quit different from the representation of the signed integer +123. • Note: The character representation takes 24 bits (3*8). • The signed integer representation in 16 -bits is: (000001111011)2 3/5/2021 CAP 221 72
