Number Systems
Number of symbols = base of the system
Most intuitive -- base 10 (decimal system)
counting on fingertips
symbols -- 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Computers use base 2 (binary system)
only two symbols - 0 / 1
Many physical reasons for choosing
Other useful bases
8 - octal
16 - hexadecimal

Representing a number in base B
General expression :
A number U3 U2 U1 U0 in base B is effectively
U 3 x B 3 + U 2 x B 2 + U 1 x B1 + U 0 x B 0
Examples :
234 in base 10 is
2 x 102 + 3 x 101 + 4 x 100
1011 in base 2 is
1 x 22 + 0 x 22 + 1 x 21 + 1 x 20 = 1 x 101 + 1 x 100 in base 10

Why Don’t Computers Use Base 10?
Implementing Electronically
Hard to store
Hard to transmit
Messy to implement digital logic functions
Binary Electronic Implementation
Easy to store with bistable elements
Reliably transmitted on noisy and inaccurate wires
Straightforward implementation of arithmetic functions

Octal and hexadecimal
Octal uses 0-7 for representing numbers
Hexadecimal uses 0-9, a, b, c, d, e and f as digits
a = decimal 10, b=decimal 11 and so on
They are useful because
translation from binary is easy
Consider 101100110101
rewrite as 101 100 110 101 and you get 5465 in octal
rewrite as 1011 0011 0101 and you get b35 in hex
Much more readable in octal and hex than in binary
Also much easier to calculate equivalent decimal value
It will really pay to learn to interpret hex numbers in this course

Machine Words
Machine Has “Word Size”
Nominal size of integer-valued data
Including addresses
Most current machines are 32 bits (4 bytes) or 64 bits
32 bits Limits addresses to 4GB
Becoming too small for memory-intensive applications
High-end systems are 64 bits (8 bytes)
Potentially address 1.8 X 1019 bytes
Machines support multiple data formats
Fractions or multiples of word size
Always integral number of bytes

Byte Ordering
How should bytes within multi-byte word be
ordered in memory?
Conventions
Sun’s, Mac’s are “Big Endian” machines
Least significant byte has highest address
Alphas, PC’s are “Little Endian” machines
Least significant byte has lowest address
–8–
52011
Byte Ordering Example
Big Endian
Least significant byte has highest address
Little Endian
Least significant byte has lowest address
Example
Variable x has 4-byte representation 0x01234567
Address given by &x is 0x100
Big Endian
0x100 0x101 0x102 0x103

Storing negative integers
sign-magnitude
of n bits in the word, the most significant bit is sign
1 indicates negative number, 0 a positive number
remaining n-1 bits determine the magnitude
0 has two representations
The range of valid values is -(2(n-1)-1) to (2(n-1)-1)
Examples
o 8 bit words can represent -127 to +127
o 16 bit words can represent -32767 to +32767
Advantages
Very straightforward
Simple to understand
Disadvantage
different machinery for addition and subtraction
multiple representations of zero.
– 27 –
52011
One’s complement
The most significant bit is effectively sign bit
The range of numbers the same as signed magnitude
Positive numbers stored as such
Negative numbers are bit-wise inverted
Example
4 bit storage – range -7 to +7
o -7 = 1000, +7 = 0111, +3 = 0011, -4 = 1011
8 bit storage – range = -127 t0 128
Zero has two representations :
o 0000 0000
o 1111 1111
Hardly ever used for actual storage

Two’s compliment is effectively one’s
compliment with a “1” added to it.
It is a number’s additive inverse
Number added to its own two’s compliment results in zero
Same circuitry can do arithmetic operations for positive and
negative numbers
The range is (-2n-1) to (2n-1-1)
Example : 13 + (-6)
13 in 4 bit binary is 1101
6 is 0110
It’s one’s complement is 1001
Two’s complement is 1010
Add 1101 and 1010 in 4 bits, ignoring the carry
The answer is 0111, with carry of 1, which in decimal is 7
