Writing the Binary Representation

When converting decimal to binary, after finding the largest power of two, the result is written as 1, and the remaining digits are determined by repeating this process for the reduced decimal value. If a power of two is not used, a 0 is written in its place value.

Study Notes

AP Computer Science Principles - Lesson 2: Binary Number System

  • The lesson focuses on converting between binary and decimal number systems, understanding the representation of numbers in computers, and programming errors.
  • Students will learn why digital data is converted between binary and decimal representations.
  • Students will master converting between binary and decimal number systems.
  • Different types of programming errors (logic, syntax, and run-time) will be defined and differentiated.
  • Students will learn about and explain overflow errors in numeric representations.

Decimal vs Binary

  • Base-10 (Decimal) uses 10 digits (0-9).
  • Base-2 (Binary) uses 2 digits (0 and 1).
  • Understanding conversions between these systems is key to how computers process data.

0 and 1

  • Conversion between decimal and binary systems provides insight into how computers process and store data.
  • Learning to do these conversions is helpful for programmers.
  • Learning conversions aids in understanding how values are stored and manipulated in a computer's memory.

Representing Numbers

  • The decimal system uses 10 digits (0-9).
  • Every number can be broken down into its base-10 representation.
  • Example decimal numbers (84, 225, and 1376) can be broken down into their base-10 representations.
  • Binary uses only 0 and 1.

Binary to Base-2 Conversion

  • The base-2 conversion method is explained with example binary numbers (1101, 1001, and 100).
  • Binary positions are called bits.
  • Bits are usually grouped in bytes of 8 bits.
  • Sometimes, bits are grouped in nibbles of 4 bits using a space to separate them.

Binary to Decimal Conversion

  • The method for converting binary to decimal is described.
  • Converting binary numbers (1010 1101, 0010 1000) to their decimal equivalents is demonstrated using place value.
  • The largest possible number in a byte of 8 bits is 255.

Decimal to Binary Conversion

  • The method for converting decimal to binary is described.
  • Decimal numbers (20, 45, 70, 101, 193, and 204) are converted to their binary equivalent using a table to identify the highest power of 2 that is less than or equal to the decimal number.
  • The process is repeated until the remainder is 0.

Signed Numbers

  • Binary digits can represent other data forms, not only whole numbers.
  • Signed integers use the leftmost bit to signify the sign (0 for positive, 1 for negative).
  • The remaining bits represent the magnitude of the value.
