    Binary System

    A numerical system that uses only two digits, 0 and 1, to represent any number. Each digit's position determines its value.

    Decimal System

    A numerical system with a base of 10, using digits 0 through 9. The position of each digit determines its value.

    Two's Complement

    A method for representing negative binary numbers by inverting all the bits (changing 0s to 1s and 1s to 0s) and then adding 1.

    One's Complement

    A method for representing negative binary numbers by inverting each bit (changing 0s to 1s and 1s to 0s). The most significant bit (leftmost) indicates the sign (0 for positive, 1 for negative).

    Positional Weight

    The value assigned to a digit based on its position in a number. In binary, the weight doubles for each position moving from right to left.

    Hexadecimal Number System

    The hexadecimal number system uses 16 symbols (digits 0-9 and letters A-F) to represent numbers. Each position in a hexadecimal number represents a power of 16.

    Study Notes

    Data Representation

    • This presentation covers different number systems, including methods for converting between them.
    • Decimal is the base-10 system used in daily life.
    • Binary uses base-2 (0s and 1s), crucial in computer systems.
    • Prefixes denote magnitudes in both base-10 and base-2 systems.
      • Example base-10 prefixes: Kilo (1000), Mega (1,000,000).
      • Example base-2 prefixes: Kibi (1024), Mebi (1,048,576), Gibi (1,073,741,824), Tebi (1,099,511,627,776), Pebi (1,125,899,906,842,624).
    • Converting from binary to decimal involves multiplying each binary digit by the corresponding power of 2 and summing the results.
    • One's Complement and Two's Complement represent negative binary numbers.
      • One's Complement inverts the bits.
      • Two's Complement adds 1 to the One's Complement.
    • The leftmost bit (most significant bit) in a binary representation indicates the sign.
      • 0 for positive, 1 for negative in the Two's Complement system.
    • Hexadecimal uses base-16, combining digits 0-9 and letters A-F.
      • Each hexadecimal digit corresponds to a 4-bit binary sequence.
      • Example: 2AF (hexadecimal) is equivalent to 687 (decimal).
    • Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) uses 4 bits per each decimal digit.
      • 0000 = 0, 0001=1, 0010=2... 1001=9.
    • ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) and Unicode map characters to numerical values.
      • ASCII has 127 characters.
      • Unicode extends this, supporting a wider range of characters and symbols.
