Representing Integer Data: BCD: Binary-Coded Decimal

This document discusses different ways of representing integer data in binary formats. It covers binary-coded decimal, which uses 4 bits per decimal digit, and sign-and-magnitude representation. It also explains nine's complement and one's, two's, and ten's complement representations, which handle negative numbers by inverting and adding 1 to the binary digits. Examples are provided of adding numbers and handling overflow in each representation method.

Figure 4.6 Addition as a counting process

Figure 4.7 Addition with wraparound

Ones complement

Figure 4.8 Addition with modulus crossing

Add in 1s complement

Overflow

Tens complement scale

Overflow sign of result sign both operands

Examples

Twos complement

10s complement of
247 is 1000 247 = 753
17 is 1000 017 = 983

Sign and magnitude of 777


Begins with a 7 ( 5) negative
1000 777 = 223
The sign-magnitude value is 223

Alternative 10s comp = 9s comp + 1

2s complement = 1s complement+1

Examples of 2s complement
