Representation of Numbers and Characters: Chapter-2

Here is how the memory would look like to print the string "Hello World" on the screen based on ASCII codes: Address Character ASCII Code Content 0 H 72 01001000 1 e 101 01100101 2 l 108 01101100 3 l 108 01101100 4 o 111 01101111 5 Space 32 00100000 6 W 87 01010111 7 o 111 01101111 8 r 114 01110010 9 l 108 01101100 10 d 100 01100100

Overview

• How numbers can be represented in binary


• Binary number system
• Hexadecimal number system
• Negative numbers representation
• Character encoding and usage by computer.
Number System

• Decimal Numbers
• Binary Number system
• Hexadecimal Number system
Decimal Numbers
 In a positional number system
• Each digit in the number is associated with a power of 10.
• i.e.3245 = 3 thousands, 2 hundreds, 4 tens and 5 ones.

OR, 3245 = 3X(10^3)+2X(10^2)+4X(10^1)+5X(10^0)

 In a positional number system


• A number b is selected as the base
• Symbols are assigned to numbers between 0 and b-1
• In decimal system symbols are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
• The base ten is represented as 10
Binary Number
System

• The base is two


• There are only two digits, 0 and 1.
• i.e. binary string 11010 represent the number:

1X(2^4)+1X(2^3)+0X(2^2)+1X(2^1)+0X(2^0) =
26
• Base two is represented in binary as 2
Why Hexadecimal?
We have decimal and binary. Why Hex?

 Binary:
• Numbers written in binary tend to be long
and difficult to express
• 16 bits are needed to represent a word in
8086-based computer.

 Decimal:
• Difficult to convert into binary.

*** Thus a third number became necessary


Hexadecimal Number
System
 The base is sixteen

 There are total sixteen digits:


0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F

 i.e. hex digit 4A represent the number:


• 4X(16^1)+ AX(16^0) = 74
• Base sixteen is represented in hex as 16

 Conversion between binary and hex is easy

 Sixteen is = 2^4, So each hex digit corresponds


to a unique four-bit number.

Hex Addition Table
Hex Addition
 Add hex number 5B39h with 7AF4h

• In Unit’s column 9h+4h=13d=Dh

• In next column, 3h+Fh=12h, we write 2 and carry 1

• In next column, Bh+Ah+ 1h (from previous carry)= 16h , we


write 6 and carry 1

• Finally, in last column, we compute, 5h+7h+1=Dh

thus, if we combine it all,

5B39h

7AF4h

=====

D62Dh
Task: Hex Addition

 Solve the following:


• B23CDh + 17912h
• FEFFEh + FBCADh
Binary Addition
 Add binary number 100101111b with 110110b

• add some padding Zero with small number. So 110110b becomes 000110110b

• In Unit’s column 1b+0b=1b

• In next column, 1b+1b=10b, we write 0 and carry 1

• In next column, 1b+1b+1b (from previous carry)= 11b , we write 1 and carry 1

• In next column, 1b+0b+1b (from previous carry)= 10b , we write 0 and carry 1

• In next column, 0b+1b+1b (from previous carry)= 10b , we write 0 and carry 1

• In next column, 1b+1b+1b (from previous carry)= 11b , we write 1 and carry 1

• In next column, 0b+0b+1b (from previous carry)= 1b , we write 1 and No Carry

• In next column, 0b+0b+No carry = 0b

• In Last column, 1b+0b = 1b

• thus, if we combine it all,

100101111b

000110110b

=========

101100101b
Task: Binary Addition

 Solve the following:


• 100101b+10111b
• 100111101b+10001111001b
Subtraction: Hex
 Subtract hex number BA94h from D26Fh
• In Unit’s column Fh-4h=11d=Bh

• In next column, 6<9 so, we must borrow 1 from the third (right to
left) column. Thus, 16h-9h=?

• 16h-9h = Dh, (Looking at Hex addition table, D+9=16

• Or, Hex numbers are A…F,10,11,12,13,14,15,16h/23d - 9d/h =


14d/Dh

• In next column, 12h-Ah-1(previously lend one) = 12h/18d-10d-


1d/h = 7h

• In next column, Dh-Bh-1(previously lend one) = Dh/13d-11d-1d/h


= 1h

thus, if we combine it all,

D26Fh

- BA94h
Task: Hex Subtraction
 Solve the following:
• 5FC12h-3ABD1h
• F001Ch-1FF3Fh
Subtraction: Binary
 Subtract hex number 1001b from 0111b
• In Unit’s column 1b-1b=0b

• In next column, 0<1 so, we must borrow 1 from the third (right to
left) column. Thus, 10b-1b=?

• Binary numbers are 0,1

• 10b/2d - 1b/d = 1b

• In next column, 10b-1b-1b(previously lend one) = 10b/2d-1b/d-


1b/d = 0b

thus, if we combine it all,

1001b

-0111b

=====

0010b
Task: Binary Subtraction

 Solve the following:


• 11011b-10110b
• 10000101b-111011b
Integer Representation in computer
• Hardware of a computer restricts the size of a number can be stored.

• lsb = least significant bit [Right most bit or bit 0]

• msb = most significant bit [left most bit or bit 15]

• Unsigned integers: Non-negative integer

• The largest unsigned integer of a byte= 11111111b or 255d or FFh

• The largest unsigned integer of a word= 1111111111111111b or 65535d or


FFFFh

• *** if LSB of an integer is 1 then its ODD . However, if it is 0 then Even

• Signed Integer: Can be positive or negative number

• The MSB is reserved for the sign

• MSB =1 [Negative]

• MSB =0 [Positive]

• *** Negative integers are stored in a computer using TWO’s complement


One’s Complement
• Ones complement is obtained by
complementing each bit.
• i.e. replacing 0 by a 1 and 1 by a 0.
• To find the one’s complement of 5 or
0000000000000101 [16bit representation
of 101]
• 1111111111111010 [complementing each
bit]
Two’s Complement
To get Two’s Complement,

• Add 1 to the one’s complement of a number

• Thus, Two’s complement of 5 is

1111111111111010 [one’s complement


of 5]

+1

—————————

1111111111111011 [Two’s
complement of 5]
Observation
 If we add two’s complement of 5 with it, we get

1111111111111011

0000000000000101
===============

10000000000000000

• We get total 17bits here, however, word bits can hold only
16bits.

• Thus the carried out MSB 1 is lost and final result is 0

• 5 +(-5) also results zero.

• Adding a number N and ones complement gives 16 one’s

• Adding a number N and Two’s complement gives 16 zero’s


Task: 8/16bit
Representation
Find the two’s complement of the two’s complement of 5.

Show how the following decimal integer would be


represented in

• a) 8 bits b)16bits. [express the result in hex]

• -97

• -120

• -40000

• -128

• 65536
Task
Give 16-bit representation of each of
the following integers and express the
result in hex:

• 234
• -16
• 31634
• -32216
Subtraction as Two’s
Complement Addition
 If AX contains 21FCh and BX contains 5ABCh, find AX-BX

AX=21FCh = 0010000111111100

BX= 5ABCh = 0101101010111100

O’C of 5ABCh = 1010010101000011 [one’s complement]

+1

===============

1111111001111000 = A544h [1 is carried and lost]

Now, AX+BX=21FCh+A544h = C740h


ASCII Code
ASCII in detail
• ASCII code system Uses 7bits = 2^7 =128 to code
each character.
• Codes from 32 to 126 = 95 characters are only
printable.
• ** to display the character A on the screen, a
program sends the ASCII code 41h to the screen.

• If we type “RG 2z” in computer, it will process like


following:

Task: String Processing
in a Computer
• If we want to print “Hello World” on the
screen, How the memory will look like ?

• [Hint: Find ASCII code, content of string from


the ASCII table and order them in a
address sequence].
