Study Notes
Number Systems Overview
- Computers and digital systems require methods to represent information for processing and storage.
- Number systems are mathematical notations for consistently representing quantities using digits or symbols.
- Foundational for disciplines such as computer science, electrical engineering, and information technology.
Common Types of Number Systems
- Roman Numeral System: Originated in ancient Rome, uses symbols like I, V, X to represent numbers.
- Unary Number System: Employs a single digit; numbers are represented by repeated instances of that digit (e.g., 1 as "1", 2 as "11").
- Decimal Number System: Most widely used, consists of ten digits (0-9).
- Binary Number System: Fundamental to computing and digital electronics, operates on two symbols: 0 and 1.
- Octal Number System: Base-8, utilizes digits from 0 to 7, often shorthand for binary (one octal digit = three binary digits).
- Hexadecimal Number System: Base-16, combines digits 0-9 with letters A-F; compact representation, one hex digit = four binary digits.
Radix/Base of Number Systems
- The radix (or base) denotes the unique digits in a system, influencing the positional value of each digit.
- Positional Notation formula: N = (an-1 an-2 ... a1 a0.a-1 a-2 ... a-m)r, where r is the radix.
Number System Comparison
- Example conversions showing how various numbers are represented in decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal systems.
Conversion Among Bases
- Essential for interpreting numbers across different numeral systems, facilitating easy translation especially between decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal.
Conversion Techniques
- Binary to Decimal: Multiply each bit by 2^n based on bit position.
- Octal to Decimal: Multiply each octal digit by 8^n.
- Hexadecimal to Decimal: Multiply hexadecimal characters by 16^n.
- Decimal to Binary: Divide by 2, keeping track of the remainders.
- Octal to Binary: Convert each octal digit to a 3-bit binary equivalent.
- Hexadecimal to Binary: Convert each hex digit to a 4-bit binary representation.
Fractions in Conversion
- Techniques exist to convert fractional binary to decimal (adding weighted binary values) and vice versa.
Power Notation
- Common prefixes for powers of 10 (e.g., pico-p, nano-n, giga-G) and powers of 2 (e.g., kilo, mega, giga) relevant in computing for memory estimations.
Binary Arithmetic
- Binary Addition: Add individual bits, propagating carries as necessary.
- Binary Subtraction: Account for borrows in bit subtraction, similar to decimal but adjusted for binary values.
Key Exercises
- Examples and practice conversions remain essential for mastering base transformations and arithmetic operations in different number systems.
