What is the difference between the decimal and binary number systems, and how do you convert between them?
The decimal number system is a base-10 system, while the binary number system is a base-2 system. To convert a decimal number to its binary equivalent, you repeatedly divide the decimal number by 2 and write down the remainders in reverse order.

Hexadecimal Numbers
- Hexadecimal numbers use 16 different states/numerals
- They combine the first ten numerals of decimal numbers and the first six alphabets
- Table 2.3 shows the hexadecimal and decimal equivalents
Converting Binary to Hexadecimal
- Prefix "0x" indicates a hexadecimal number (e.g., 0x3A7)
- Divide the binary number into sections of four bits (nibbles)
- Convert each nibble to its hexadecimal equivalent using Table 2.4
- Example: Converting 11010011100100101011 to hex involves segmenting it into 1101, 0011, 1001, 0010, 1011
Converting Hexadecimal to Decimal
- Number each numeral starting from 0 (least significant bit)
- Table 2.4 shows the conversion of 0xD392B to decimal
- Conversion formula example: D(13) x 164 + 3 x 163 + 9 x 162 + 2 x 161 + B(11) x 160 = 866603
Conversion of Decimal to hexadecimal
- Repeatedly divide the decimal number by 16
- Write down the remainders in reverse order
- The remainders represent the hexadecimal digits
Integers
- Integers are whole numbers (positive, negative, or zero)
- Examples: -6, 2, 8, -95, 2015
- The set of integers is denoted by Z: Z = {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 ...}
- Integers in computers are represented using two's complement and excess notations
Two's Complement Notation
- Computers use a fixed number of bits to represent integers.
- The most significant bit (leftmost) represents the sign (0 for positive, 1 for negative).
- Steps to find the two's complement of a positive number:
- Find its binary equivalent
- Flip all the bits (0 to 1, 1 to 0)
- Add 1 to the least significant bit
Excess Notation
- Another method for representing integers
- The bit pattern length is determined and the bit patterns are listed.
- The point where the most significant bit changes sign designates the split between positive and negative integers
Floating-Point Numbers
- Floating-point numbers have a fractional part
- Represented in floating-point notation
- Sign bit (0 for positive, 1 for negative)
- Exponent (holds the part greater than one)
- Mantissa (holds the fractional part less than one)
- Example: 01011101 is a positive bit stream with 101 as the exponent and 1101 as the Mantissa.
- Converting floating point notations to decimal numbers requires a conversion table.
Non-Numeric Data
- Non-numeric data includes alphabets, special characters, images, and sound
- Not sequentially ordered based on values
- Coded formats represent alphabets and special characters (e.g. ASCII)
Computer Records
- Records are combinations of different data objects (integers, floating-point numbers, character strings)
- Used for program processing
- Can have fixed or variable lengths
Registers
- High-speed memory built into the CPU
- Used for quickly accessing commonly used values
- Examples of registers: Accumulator (AC), Data Register (DR), Temporary register (TR), Instruction Register (IR), Address Register (AR), Program Counter (PC), Input Register (INPR) Output Register(OUTR)
- Registers have different sizes
