Question 18.
What are the various ways to represent integers in computer?
Answer:
There are three ways to represent integers in computer. They are as follows:
1) Sign Magnitude Representation (SMR)
2) 1’s Complement Representation
3) 2’s Complement Representation .
1) SMR : Normally a number has: two parts sign and magnitude, eg:- Consider a number +5. Here + is the sign and 5 is the magnitude. In SMR the most significant Bit (MSB) is used to represent the sign. If MSB is 0 sign is +ve and MSB is 1 sign is – ve.

Here MSB is used for sign then the remaining 7 bits are used to represent magnitude. So we can represent 27 = 128 numbers. But there are negative and positive numbers. So 128 + 128 = 256 number. The numbers are 0 to + 127 and 0 to – 127. Here zero is repeated. So we can represent 256 – 1 = 255 numbers.
2) 1’s Complement Representation : To get the 1’s complement of a binary number, just replace every 0 with 1 and every 1 with 0. Negative numbers are represented using 1’s complement but + ve number has no 1’s complement,
eg:- To find the 1 ‘s complement of 21 +21 = 00010101
To get the 1 ‘s complement change all 0 to 1 and all 1 to 0.
– 21 = 11101010
1’s complement of 21 is 11101010
3) 2’s Complement Representation : To get the 2’s complement of a binary number, just add 1 to its 1’s complement +ve number has no 2’s complement.
eg:- To find the 2’s complement of 21
+21 = 00010101
First lake the 1’s complement for this change all 1 to 0 and all 0 to 1

2’s complement of 21 is 1110 1011

Answer:
i) To find the value of A, First divide the binary number (11011)₂ into groups of 3 bits (starting from the right) Then write down the corresponding octal number of each group for this insert a zero (0) in the left side of the binary number.

ii) To find the value of B, First divide the binary number (11011)₂ into groups of 4 bits (starting from the right). Then write down the corresponding.
Hexa decimal equivalent of each group. For this insert 3 zeroes in the left side of the binary number.

iii) To find the value of C find the decimal equivalent so as to do the following.

a) 11011001
b) 00100111
c) 11011010
d) 11011011
ii) If the Octal representation of decimal number X is (64)8. Find the hexa decimal equivalent of X.
Answer:
i) (c) 11011010
ii) Step 1 : First convert the octal number (64)₈ into binary for this write down the 3 bit binary equivalent

Step II:- The obtained binary number is divided into groups of 4 bits, starting from the right. For this insert 2 zeroes in the left side. After that write down the corresponding Hexa decimal number .
