Chapter 2 Binary Values and Number Systems
Numbers Natural numbers, a.k.a. positive integers Zero and any number obtained by repeatedly adding one to it. Examples: 100, 0, 45645, 32 Negative numbers A value less than 0, with a sign Examples: -24, -1, -45645, -32 2 2
Integers A natural number, a negative number, zero Examples: 249, 0, - 45645, - 32 Rational numbers An integer or the quotient of two integers Examples: -249, -1, 0, 3/7, -2/5 Real numbers In general cannot be represented as the quotient of any two integers. They have an infinite # of fractional digits. Example: Pi = 3.14159265 3 3
2.2 Positional notation How many ones (units) are there in 642? 600 + 40 + 2 6 x 100 + 4 x 10 + 2 x 1 6 x 10 2 + 4 x 10 1 + 2 x 10 0 10 is called the base We also write 642 10 4 4
QUIZ How many ones (units) are there in 642 9 (642 in base nine)? Use the base-10 model: 600 + 40 + 2 6 x 100 + 4 x 10 + 2 x 1 6 x 10 2 + 4 x 10 1 + 2 x 10 0 5 4
QUIZ How many ones (units) are there in 642 9 (642 in base nine)? 6 x 9 2 + 4 x 9 1 + 2 x 9 0 = 125 10 6 4
Positional Notation The base of a number determines how many digits are used and the value of each digit s position. To be specific: In base R, there are R digits, from 0 to R-1 The positions have for values the powers of R, from right to left: R 0, R 1, R 2, 7 5
Positional Notation Formula: R is the base of the number d n * R n-1 + d n-1 * R n-2 +... + d 2 * R + d 1 n is the number of digits in the number d is the digit in the i th position in the number 8 7
Positional Notation reloaded The text shows the digits numbered like this: d n * R n-1 + d n-1 * R n-2 +... + d 2 * R + d 1 but, in CS, the digits are numbered from zero, to match the power of the base: d n-1 * R n-1 + d n-2 * R n-2 +... + d 1 * R 1 + d 0 * R 0 9 7
QUIZ What is 642 in base 13? 10 68

The inverse problem: Converting Decimal to Other Bases Algorithm for converting a number in base 10 to any other base R: While (the quotient is not zero) Divide the decimal number by R Make the remainder the next digit to the left in the answer Replace the original decimal number with the quotient Known as repeated division (by the base) 40 19
Converting Decimal to Binary Example: Convert 179 10 to binary 179 2 = 89 rem. 1 2 = 44 rem. 1 2 = 22 rem. 0 2 = 11 rem. 0 MSB LSB 2 = 5 rem. 1 2 = 2 rem. 1 2 = 1 rem. 0 179 10 = 10110011 2 2 = 0 rem. 1 Notes: The first bit obtained is the rightmost (a.k.a. LSB) The algorithm stops when the quotient (not the remainder!) becomes zero 41 19
Repeated division QUIZ Convert 42 10 to binary 42 2 = rem. 42 10 = 2 42 19
The repeated division algorithm can be used to convert from any base into any other base (but normally we use it only for 10 2) Read text example on p.43: Converting Decimal to Hex using repeated division 43
