Questions and Answers

What is the basic difference between the decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal number systems?

The decimal system is base-10, the binary system is base-2, the octal system is base-8, and the hexadecimal system is base-16. For example, the binary '101' is 5 in decimal, '5' in octal, and '5' in hexadecimal.

Convert the binary number (110110001010)2 to octal.

The octal equivalent is Din

What are the steps involved in designing combinational logic?

The steps include defining the problem, deriving boolean expressions, creating a truth table, and then designing the circuit. An example is designing a half-adder which adds two single-bit numbers.
