Study Notes
Binary Operations
- Binary operations are performed on binary numbers, like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
- Binary addition is similar to decimal addition and includes carrying over when the sum exceeds 1.
- Binary subtraction utilizes the borrow method, similar to decimal subtraction.
Positional Number Systems
- Positional number systems define the value of a digit based on its position within the number and the system's base.
- Common bases include:
- Binary (base-2): Uses digits 0 and 1.
- Octal (base-8): Uses digits 0 to 7.
- Decimal (base-10): Uses digits 0 to 9.
- Hexadecimal (base-16): Uses digits 0 to 9 and A to F.
Signed Integer Representation
- Signed magnitude representation uses the most significant bit (MSB) to indicate the sign (0 for positive, 1 for negative), while the remaining bits represent the magnitude of the number.
- One's complement representation finds the negative number by inverting all the bits of the positive number.
- Two's complement representation finds the negative number by inverting all the bits of the positive number and adding 1 to the least significant bit (LSB).
Floating Point Representation
- A way to represent real numbers, in a format that supports a wide range of values by using a normalized form.
- Components include:
- Sign bit: Indicates whether the number is positive (0) or negative (1).
- Exponent: Represents the power of the base.
- Mantissa (or Fraction): Represents the significant digits of the number.
- IEEE 754 Standard defines single precision (32-bit) and double precision (64-bit) floating-point representation formats.
Converting Between Bases
- Binary to decimal conversion involves multiplying each bit by 2 raised to the power of its position, then summing the results.
- Decimal to binary conversion involves repeatedly dividing the decimal number by 2, recording the remainder, and continuing until the quotient is 0.
- Hexadecimal to binary conversion replaces each hexadecimal digit with its 4-bit binary equivalent.
Character Codes
- ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) uses a 7-bit character code and represents English characters, digits, and symbols.
- Unicode is a character encoding standard for virtually all languages and uses up to 32 bits.
Signed Magnitude Arithmetic
- Arithmetic operations done using signed magnitude representation.
- Addition involves subtracting the magnitudes and applying the sign bit of the larger magnitude.
- Subtraction can be performed by adding the opposite sign of the second number, and then applying the principle of addition.
One’s Complement Arithmetic
- Arithmetic operations are performed using one's complement representation.
- Addition involves performing binary addition and applying end-around carry if necessary.
- Subtraction involves finding the one's complement of the subtrahend, adding it to the minuend, and applying end-around carry if necessary.
Two’s Complement Arithmetic
- Arithmetic operations are performed using two's complement representation.
- Addition involves performing binary addition, and discarding any carry-out from the MSB.
- Subtraction involves finding the two's complement of the subtrahend, adding it to the minuend, and discarding any carry-out from the MSB.
Floating-Point Arithmetic
- Addition involves aligning the exponents and then adding the significands (mantissa).
- Subtraction involves aligning the exponents, subtracting the significands, and adjusting the result.
Error Detection and Correction
- Parity bits are a simple error detection method where a parity bit is added to ensure the total number of 1-bits is even (even parity) or odd (odd parity).
- Hamming Code is an error-correcting code that can detect and correct single-bit errors by adding redundancy bits to the data.
- CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) is a method of error detection that computes a fixed-length checksum based on the data.
