Which of the following is not an octal number ? • 451. • 880. • 325. • 162.
Which of the following is not a decimal number ? • 1001001 • 67542 • 79245 • 2A1017
A computer uses the 8-bit two's complement representation to represent integers. The smallest and largest integer the computer can process are : • -8, 7. • -127, 127. • -256, 255. • -128, 127.
The main advantage of two's complement representation over that of sign-and-magnitude representation is • With the same number of bits, two's complement representation can represent a wider range of integers. • With two's complement representation, substractions can be performed by addition. • In two's complement representation, only one bit pattern is used to represent the integer 0. • Program designing can be simplified with the use of two's complement representation
