Binary Arithmetic
1. Convert the following numbers to binary using twos complement representation
9 -6 -99
2. Assuming 10 bits represent a binary number, with the first being a sign bit (twos
complement). Convert the following binary digits to decimal
000011101
001001011
110001111
3. Normalise the following numbers, which are held with a 10-bit mantissa and
6-bit exponent
0 000000110 000111
0 000010111 000110
1 111110111 000000
1 111111010 000011
4. the binary number 1010 1011 0111 can be represented in a number of different
ways
a. State its hexadecimal form
b. State its value in denary if it represents
(i) an unsigned binary digit
(ii) a twos complement floating point number with an eight bit mantissa
followed by a 4-bit exponent

Pascal is quite hard aswell..... Atleast for me anyway! :-)
Im going to be studying it for 2 years, sit an exam on it, then never use it again......
Infact that sounds alot like Maths!
It will not have any use in the future. It seems a shame that they make people learn things that will not help them in the future.
Better than this pascal crap! :-)
WHen i think about it properly i dont want to go UNI, i've had enough of Education.
> hmmm, my teacher is bit of an idoit. I'll ask him on Monday.
Anyway,
> cheers for doing this!
lol... should make you look good in class!
Anyway, it was no problem... I'm hoping to do computer science at uni, so I thought i might as well put my knowledge to use (after all, I'm at school, and I can't see any work being done!)
Anyway, cheers for doing this!
