1 Computer Science 121 Scientific Computing Winter 2016 Chapter 3 Simple Types: Numbers, Text, Booleans

2 3.1 The Organization of Computer Memory Computers store information as bits : sequences of zeros and ones 0 / 1 true / false on / off yes/no Why base 2 (binary) - vs. base 10 (decimal)? (Note: book misleadingly uses Arabic to mean base 10) For an N-bit sequence, we have 2N possible values

3 Binary-to-Decimal Conversion To convert from binary to decimal Start from right Multiply 0,1 by powers of two (1, 2, 4, 8, ) Sum of these products is decimal equivalent E.g., =??? 10

4 Binary-to-Decimal Conversion To convert from binary to decimal Start from right Multiply 0,1 by powers of two (1, 2, 4, 8, ) Sum of these products is decimal equivalent E.g., =??? 10 1 * 2 0 = 1

5 Binary-to-Decimal Conversion To convert from binary to decimal Start from right Multiply 0,1 by powers of two (1, 2, 4, 8, ) Sum of these products is decimal equivalent E.g., =??? 10 1 * 2 0 = * 2 1 = 0

6 Binary-to-Decimal Conversion To convert from binary to decimal Start from right Multiply 0,1 by powers of two (1, 2, 4, 8, ) Sum of these products is decimal equivalent E.g., =??? 10 1 * 2 0 = * 2 1 = * 2 2 = 4

7 Binary-to-Decimal Conversion To convert from binary to decimal Start from right Multiply 0,1 by powers of two (1, 2, 4, 8, ) Sum of these products is decimal equivalent E.g., =??? 10 1 * 2 0 = * 2 1 = * 2 2 = * 2 3 = 8

8 Binary-to-Decimal Conversion To convert from binary to decimal Start from right Multiply 0,1 by powers of two (1, 2, 4, 8, ) Sum of these products is decimal equivalent E.g., =??? 10 1 * 2 0 = * 2 1 = * 2 2 = * 2 3 = 8 13

9 Decimal-to-Binary Conversion To convert from decimal to binary 1. Take remainder of decimal number / 2 2. Write down remainders right-to-left 3. If decimal number is zero, we re done 4. Divide decimal number by 2 5. Go to step mod 2 = = 6 6 mod 2 = = 3 3 mod 2 = = 1 1 mod 2 = =

10 Sign/Magnitude Notation Bit sequences are typically organized into eight-bit chunks called bytes : 8 bits 2 8 = 256 possible values Can use leftmost bit for sign (+/-) E.g., = ; = Yields 128 negative, 128 positive values but this means we have +/- 0 ( , ), wasting one value! So use two s complement

11 Two s Complement Notation To negate a binary number: Flip the bits Add Nice features Leftmost 1 still means negative Don t waste a value (256 unique values, one zero) Can do subtraction as addition

12 Two s Complement Subtraction

13 Two s Complement Subtraction

14 Two s Complement Subtraction

15 Two s Complement Subtraction

16 Two s Complement Subtraction

17 Two s Complement Subtraction

18 Two s Complement Subtraction

19 Two s Complement Subtraction

20 Two s Complement Subtraction (Leftmost carry disappears)

21 Floating-Point Numbers Numbers containing a decimal point Original decimal-point notation had fixed point (e.g., two digits from right for $) With floating-point, decimal point floats

22 Floating-Point Numbers General form: mantissa e exponent avogadrosnumber = 6.023e23 plancksconstant = e-34 Double precision float (a.k.a. double): 53 bits for mantissa, 11 for exponent (IEEE 754 standard) Default exponent = 0 (3.14 = 3.14e0)

23 Special Floating-Point Values inf: bigger than any actual number Python can handle: >>> float('inf') > True >>> 1e99999 inf nan: not a number ; i.e., undefined >>> float('inf') / float('inf') nan

24 3.2 Text (Strings) Bits can be interpreted any way we want Sign/magnitude integer Two s-complement integer IEEE 754 double-precision Integer representing an entry in a table of characters (Google on ascii table)

25 3.2 Text (Strings) Need to distinguish text from program code: use single quotes (c.f. English: He said hello to everyone in the room. ) >>> pi >>> "pi" 'pi'

26 Double vs. single quotes Both will work, as long as you're consistent For apostrophe, use single quote inside double quotes: >>> "Why can't anything be simple?" "Why can't anything be simple?" Don t try to put a newline into quoted text: >>> "Four score and seven years ago our SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal

27 String formatting Concatenation via plus: >>> "Hello " + "and goodbye" Hello and goodbye Mixing in numbers with str : >>> "NumPy uses " + str(pi) + " for pi." 'NumPy uses for pi.'

28 3.3 Collections of Numbers and Plotting Sequences of numbers a.k.a. arrays are the most common kind of data in scientific computing NumPy uses array() function with square brackets to represent arrays: >>> array([1, 5, 7, 9]) array([1, 5, 7, 9])

29 The Fundamental Power of NumPy Operations on entire vectors at once: >>> 3 * array([1, 5, 7, 9]) array([ 3, 15, 21, 27]) >>> x = linspace(0,1,5) >>> x array([ 0., 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.]) >>> x**2 array([ 0., , 0.25,0.5625, 1.])

30 Useful Vector Operations >>> len(x) 5 >> sum(x) 2.5 >> prod(array([1,3,5,7,9])) 945

31 Other Common Operations Sign-related: abs, sign Exponential: exp, log, log10, log2 Trig: sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, sinh, cosh, tanh Fraction-to-integer: round, floor, ceil, fix Remainders: mod, % >>> mod(3,2) 1 >>> 3 % 2 1

32 Plotting with Matplotlib >>> from matplotlib.pyplot import * >>> time = array([0, 1, 2, 3.5, 7]) >>> temp = [93.5, 90.6, 87.7, 83.9, 76.6] >>> plot(time, temp, "-o"), show() (additional values shown)

33 Constructing Sequences of Numbers linspace: >>> linspace(1,.5, 5) array([1., 0.875, 0.75, 0.625, 0.5]) arange: >>> arange(6) array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) >>> arange(5,10) array([5, 6, 7, 8, 9]) WTF?

34 Constructing Sequences of Numbers linspace: >>> linspace(1,.5, 5) array([1., 0.875, 0.75, 0.625, 0.5]) arange: >>> arange(6) array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) >>> arange(5,10) array([5, 6, 7, 8, 9]) Off-by-One will you be!

35 Goin down: >>> linspace(5,0,4) array([ 5., 3.333, 1.667, 0.]) >>> arange(3,0,-1) array([3, 2, 1]) Concatenating with append: >>> a = linspace(1,2,3) >>> append(a, array([4,5])) array([ 1., 1.5, 2., 4., 5. ]) >>> a array([ 1., 1.5, 2. ])

36 3.4: Booleans: True or False Boolean (true/false) values are useful everywhere in computer science: >>> 3 < 7 True >>> pi > 2*pi False G. Boole ( )

37 Booleans with Arrays and Strings Arrays: >>> arange(5) < 2 array([ True, True, False, False, False], dtype=bool) >>> linspace(0,1,3) == array([0,.5,.99]) array([ True, True, False,], dtype=bool) Strings: >>> "Hello" == "Goodbye" False >>> "Hello" > "Goodbye" True

38 Logical Operations Often need to combine several comparisons at least 2 quantitative courses and at least 4 humanities courses one MATH course and another math or CSCI course >>> mymath = 1; mycsci = 2 >>> myart = 1; mymusic = 1; myfrench = 1 >>> myquant = mymath + mycsci >>> myhum = myart + mymusic + myfrench >>> (myquant >= 2) and (myhum >= 4) False >>> (mymath >= 1) and (mycsci >=1 or mymath >=2) True
