IRA is a 7-bit code that allows 128 characters to be defined. In the 1970s, many news papers received stories from the wire services in a 6-bit code called TTS. This code carried upper and lowercase characters as well as many special characters and for matting commands. The typical TTS character set allowed over 100 characters to be defined. How do you think this could be accomplished?

IEEE 754-2008 contains a half precision that is only 16 bits wide. The leftmost bit is still the sign bit, the exponent is 5 bits wide and has a bias of 15, and the fraction is 10 bits long. A hidden 1 is assumed as part of the significand just like the IEEE-754 format we learnt in the class. Write down the bit pattern to represent −0.15625 × 100 in IEEE 754-2008 half-precision format. You need to find out the bits for the sign, the exponent, and the fraction. To answer this question, you need to convert the decimal fraction to its binary representation. Check out the link given in Q1. You have to show all steps including the fraction conversion (from decimal to binary).
There are multiple schemes that can be used to represent integers in binary, including 1. regular, unsigned binary (denoted by subscript 2) 2. sign-and-magnitude binary (denoted by subscript sam) 3. unsigned binary-coded decimal (BCD) (denoted by subscript ubcd) 4. signed BCD (denoted by subscript sbcd) where the second and the forth can represent both positive and negative integers while the first and the third can only represent non-negative or unsigned integers. Assuming that we use 2 bytes to represent a number, answer the following questions for each scheme above: (a) What are the largest and smallest integers that can be represented? 5 (b) How many different values can be represented? ts (c) How to represent 2710? (d) How to represent -4510 if supported? yolan

One's complement representations of integers is used to simplify computer arithmetic, while representing both positive and negative values in bits (base 2). A n-bit number represents positive and negative integers with absolute value less than 2"-1, The leftmost bit is used to represent the sign. A 0 bit in this position is used for positive integers, and a 1 bit in this position is used for negative integers. When a value is negative, the magnitude of the value is represented by the rest of the bits, but the l's and O's flipped. For example: The number –5 expressed in 4-bit 1s-complement is 1010: the first bit indicates it's a negative number. The last 3 bits, when flipped to 101, is the base-2 representation of 510. (a) Find the one's complement representations, using bit strings of length six, of the following integers. i. 19 i. ii. 75 ii. iii. -72 ii. iv. -1 iv.

What is the smallest base-10 positive number that can be stored using 7 bits, where the 1st bit is used for the sign of the number; the 2nd bit for sign of the exponent; 3 bits for the magnitude of mantissa, and the rest of the bits for the magnitude of exponent? 0
For this problem we will use a hypothetical floating-point representation that is similar to IEEE-754. It uses 12 bits total, consisting of 1 sign bit, 5 exponent bits, and 6 mantissa bits. Convert -14.125 to this format. Write the three portions of the number below as binary strings using the appropriate number of bits. Sign (1 bit): Exponent (5 bits): Mantissa (6 bits):
A computer stores real numbers in the floating-point format in 8-bit words. The first bit is used for the sign of the number, the second bit for the sign of the exponent, the next two bits for the magnitude of the exponent, and the next four bits for the magnitude of the mantissa. Represent 5.627 in the 8-bit format.
