Questions and Answers
Explain the difference between weighted and non-weighted codes in the context of encoding?
Weighted codes assign different weights to the digits based on their position, while non-weighted codes do not assign any weights to the digits.
What are the advantages of using weighted codes over non-weighted codes in certain applications?
Weighted codes provide a more efficient representation of numbers and simplify arithmetic operations, making them suitable for applications such as digital signal processing and computer arithmetic.
Give an example of a weighted code and a non-weighted code, and explain their difference?
An example of a weighted code is the Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) which assigns weights to each digit. A non-weighted code example is the Excess-3 code which does not assign any weights to the digits. The difference lies in how the digits are represented and processed.
