Binary Number System
• Since binary digits have two possible
values they are called bits
– They only contain a little “bit” of information
– Numbers represented in binary form will
(most likely) require more digits (bits) than
the decimal form

information
– Lump together
multiple bits
called strings

Binary Number System
• In general
number of values = 2number of bits
• How does 1 bit represent 2 values?
– It can have one of two values 0, 1
– Can represent two colors, black and white
– 0: black
– 1: white
• Can represent two numbers: 0, 1

consistent with other slides
– Acceptable to add leading 0’s if desired

Binary Number System
• We can represent the non-negative
numbers (unsigned number)
0 – 2number of bits - 1
• How about representing negative
numbers?
– Let the left most bit represent the sign (+, -)
of the number
– Called signed magnitude representation
– [s][mag]
12
Signed Magnitude
– One less bit to represent the magnitude
001 0 * 2 1* 2 0 1 1
010 1* 2 0 * 2 2 0 2

Signed Magnitude
• Problems
– Two values of 0
• More difficult to detect than one value of 0
– Incorrect arithmetic
• 2 – 1 = 2 + (-1) = 1

Two’s Complement Representation
• Sign bit in a sense
– Positive numbers
• The leading bit (left most) is zero
• The same as signed magnitude
– Negative numbers
• The leading bit is one
• Defined so that when added to their
corresponding positive number the answer is
zero

Two’s Complement Representation
• Problems with signed magnitude
representation are solved with the two’s
complement representation
– There is only value of zero
– Arithmetic is correct
• Solution is in two’s complement form
• 2 – 1 = 2 + (-1) = 1

17
Binary Encoding
• Unsigned binary numbers are useful
when labeling things
• Common grouping
– 4 bits: nibble
– 8 bits: byte
• One byte represents 256 different values
or items
18
Binary Number System
– Letters in the English language
• A = 6510 = 0100 00012
• B = 6610 = 0100 00102
• …
• Z = 9010 = 0101 10102
• …
• a = 9710 = 0110 00012
• …
• Z = 12210 = 0111 10102
• Numbers are still left over for punctuation
19
Binary Number System
• Precision
– The number of bits used to represent an
item
• Letter: precision of 8 bits
• Integer (whole number): precision of 32 or 64
bits
– Always finite
• Computers have finite precision
– Presents some limitations
20
Hexadecimal Number System
• Sometimes called hex
– Positional,base-16 system
– Each digit is multiplied by a power of 16
– Sixteen unique symbols (digits)
• 0, 1, 2, …, 15
• Symbol a or A for 10
• Symbol b or B for 11
• Symbol c or C for 12
• Symbol d or D for 13
Symbol e or E for 14
Symbol f or F for 15
21
Hexadecimal Number System
• A hex number can represent 16 different
items
– Equivalent to 4 bits
– Makes it easy to convert between binary
and hex
• Group bits by 4’s from the left end
• Substitute the hex symbol
– 9010 = 0101 10102 = 5A16
» Is the base 16 really needed?
– 6610 = 0100 00102 = 4216
22
Hexadecimal Number System
• Use the backwards conversion to convert
hex to binary
– One hex digit is equivalent to 4 bits
– Substitute the binary nibble
• Always start at the right end
• Add zeros to the left end as necessary to fill in 4
bits

Digitization
• The process of converting analog
information into binary
– Discrete forms are unambiguous
• Text and numbers are discrete
– Conversion of discrete to digital
• Come up with a mapping
– As we did with the letters
25
Binary Coded Decimal
• Integers (whole numbers)
– One mapping is to use its binary equivalent
• Binary Coded Decimal (BCD)
– 010 = 00002
– 110 = 00012
– …
– 910 = 10012
• Need a minimum of 4 bits to represent 10
different values
– Some 4 bit quantities are wasted
26
Binary Coded Decimal
• String of decimal digits
– Each decimal digit is represented by 4 bits
– The number of bits needed to represent
different numbers vary
– Performing arithmetic is complicated
27
Digitizing Analog Information
• Two steps
–Sampling the information
• Select discrete samples that represents the
information
–Quantizing the samples
• Discrete samples are measured
• Encoded into a binary representation
28
Digitizing Analog Information
• Sampling
– In time or space (picture)
• Quantizing
– Approximating the measured value
29
Digitizing Images
• Images are digitized
using a two step
process
• Sampling the
continuous tone
image
• Quantizing the
samples
