Number Systems: By: Ms. Kalpani Manatunga

This document discusses different number systems used in computers including integer, real, fixed point, and floating point representations. It describes how floating point numbers use a mantissa, radix, and exponent. The IEEE 754 standard for 32-bit floating point representation is also mentioned. Data representation in computers is covered including BCD, ASCII, EBCDIC, and Unicode encodings. The basics of binary addition, subtraction, 1's complement, and 2's complement are defined.

Unicode provides a unique number for every


character,
no matter what the platform,
no matter what the program,
no matter what the language.
Fundamentally, computers just deal with
numbers. They store letters and other characters
by assigning a number for each one.
8, 16 or 32 bits per character

Binary Addition
Rules of Binary Addition
0+0=0
0+1=1
1+0=1
1 + 1 = 0, and carry 1 to the next more significant bit
Try out these additions:
o
o

00011010 + 00001100 = ?
00010011 + 00111110 = ?

Binary Subtraction
Rules of Binary Subtraction
0-0=0
0 - 1 = 1, and borrow 1 from the next more significant bit
1-0=1
1-1=0
Try out these subtractions:
o
o

00100101 - 00010001 = ?
00110011 - 00010110 = ?
