Digital System & Engineering

Assignment #1
 Both the copier and the provider will get 0 point.

1. A computer has a word length of 8-bits (including sign). If 2’s


complement is used to represent negative numbers, what range of
integers can be stored in the computer? If 1’s complement is used?
(Explain your answers in decimal)

2. Answer the questions.

(a) Convert to base 3 : 375.548

(b) Convert to base 4 : 384.7410

(c) Convert to base 9 : A52.A411

3. Convert 0.36363636…..10 to its exact equivalent base 8 number.


4. Answer the questions.

(a) It is possible to have negative weights in a weighted code for the decimal
digits, e.g., 8, 4, -2, and -1 can be used. Construct a table for this weighted
codes.

(b) If d is a decimal digit in this code,, how can the code for 9 – d be
obtained?

5. Because A –B = A + (-B), the subtraction of signed numbers can be


accomplished by adding the complement. Subtract each of the following
pairs of 5-bit binary numbers by adding the complement of the
subtrahend to the minuend. Indicate when an overflow occurs. Assume
that negative numbers are represented in 1’s complement. Then repeat
using 2’s complement.

(a) 01001 (b) 11010 (c) 10110 (d) 11011 (e) 11100

-11010 -11001 -01101 -00111 -10101
