10 Questions

What is the main difference between binary subtraction and decimal subtraction?

Binary subtraction has carry bits, while decimal subtraction has borrow bits

How do you convert a hexadecimal number to decimal?

By summing the place values (16^0, 16^1, 16^2,...)

What is the primary use of hexadecimal representation in computer systems?

All of the above

What is the purpose of the most significant bit (MSB) in twos complement representation?

To indicate the sign of the number

What is the result of the bitwise AND operation on two binary numbers?

1 only if both operands have 1 in that position

How do you convert a binary number to decimal?

By summing the place values (2^0, 2^1, 2^2,...)

What is the purpose of the bitwise NOT operation?

To invert all bits (1 becomes 0, 0 becomes 1)

What is the result of the bitwise OR operation on two binary numbers?

1 if either operand has 1 in that position

What is the purpose of the bitwise XOR operation?

To set the result to 1 if the operands have different values

What is the main advantage of hexadecimal representation over binary representation?

Hexadecimal is more compact than binary

Study Notes

Binary Arithmetic

  • Binary Number System: A base-2 number system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1
  • Binary Arithmetic Operations:
    • Addition: similar to decimal addition, but with carry bits (1s) and no borrow bits
    • Subtraction: similar to decimal subtraction, but with borrow bits (1s) and no carry bits
    • Multiplication: similar to decimal multiplication, but with binary digits
    • Division: similar to decimal division, but with binary digits

Number Base Conversion

  • Number Base Systems:
    • Binary (base 2): uses 0 and 1
    • Octal (base 8): uses 0-7
    • Decimal (base 10): uses 0-9
    • Hexadecimal (base 16): uses 0-9, A-F (A=10, B=11, ..., F=15)
  • Conversion Methods:
    • Binary to Decimal: sum of place values (2^0, 2^1, 2^2, ...)
    • Decimal to Binary: repeated division by 2 and remainder
    • Hexadecimal to Decimal: sum of place values (16^0, 16^1, 16^2, ...)
    • Decimal to Hexadecimal: repeated division by 16 and remainder

Hexadecimal Applications

  • Use Cases:
    • Color representation (RGB): #RRGGBB, where RR, GG, BB are hexadecimal values
    • Memory addresses: often represented in hexadecimal format
    • Data compression: hexadecimal representation can be more compact than binary
    • Programming languages: hexadecimal literals are used in some languages

Twos Complement Representation

  • Signed Integer Representation:
    • Most significant bit (MSB) indicates sign (0 for positive, 1 for negative)
    • Remaining bits represent the magnitude
  • Twos Complement:
    • Invert all bits (1's complement)
    • Add 1 to the result
    • Example: decimal -5 in 8-bit twos complement: 11111011

Bitwise Operations

  • Bitwise AND (&):
    • Bit-by-bit AND operation
    • Result has 1 only if both operands have 1 in that position
  • Bitwise OR (|):
    • Bit-by-bit OR operation
    • Result has 1 if either operand has 1 in that position
  • Bitwise XOR (^):
    • Bit-by-bit XOR operation
    • Result has 1 if operands have different values in that position
  • Bitwise NOT (~):
    • Inverts all bits (1 becomes 0, 0 becomes 1)

Binary Arithmetic

  • Binary number system uses only two digits: 0 and 1
  • Binary arithmetic operations have some differences compared to decimal operations:
    • Addition: uses carry bits (1s) and no borrow bits
    • Subtraction: uses borrow bits (1s) and no carry bits
    • Multiplication: uses binary digits
    • Division: uses binary digits

Number Base Conversion

  • Number base systems include:
    • Binary (base 2): uses 0 and 1
    • Octal (base 8): uses 0-7
    • Decimal (base 10): uses 0-9
    • Hexadecimal (base 16): uses 0-9, A-F (A=10, B=11,..., F=15)

    • Decimal to Binary: repeated division by 2 and remainder
    • Hexadecimal to Decimal: sum of place values (16^0, 16^1, 16^2,...)
    • Decimal to Hexadecimal: repeated division by 16 and remainder

Twos Complement Representation

  • Signed integer representation uses:
    • Most significant bit (MSB) to indicate sign (0 for positive, 1 for negative)
    • Remaining bits to represent the magnitude
  • Twos complement representation:
    • Inverts all bits (1's complement)
    • Adds 1 to the result
    • Example: decimal -5 in 8-bit twos complement: 11111011

Bitwise Operations

  • Bitwise AND (&) operation:
    • Bit-by-bit AND operation
    • Result has 1 only if both operands have 1 in that position
  • Bitwise OR (|) operation:
    • Bit-by-bit OR operation
    • Result has 1 if either operand has 1 in that position
  • Bitwise XOR (^) operation:
    • Bit-by-bit XOR operation
    • Result has 1 if operands have different values in that position
  • Bitwise NOT (~) operation:
    • Inverts all bits (1 becomes 0, 0 becomes 1)
