Study Notes
Binary Representation
- The largest integer representable with n bits is 2^n - 1. This is because the first bit represents the sign, so it leaves (n-1) bits for the number.
Logical Operations
- The OR operation results in 1 (True) if at least one of the inputs is 1 (True).
ENIAC
- The ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) used vacuum tubes for processing data.
Decimal to Binary Conversion
- To convert a decimal number to binary, you can use the repeated division method.
- Divide the decimal number by 2.
- The remainder is the least significant bit of the binary representation.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the quotient until the quotient is zero.
- The remainders, read from bottom to top, form the binary representation.
Example: Decimal to Binary Conversion
- Converting 125 to binary:
- 125 / 2 = 62 (remainder 1)
- 62 / 2 = 31 (remainder 0)
- 31 / 2 = 15 (remainder 1)
- 15 / 2 = 7 (remainder 1)
- 7 / 2 = 3 (remainder 1)
- 3 / 2 = 1 (remainder 1)
- 1 / 2 = 0 (remainder 1)
- Therefore, the binary representation of 125 is 1111101.
