The Decimal Number System The decimal number system is also known as base 10. The values of the positions are calculated by taking 10 to some power. Why is the base 10 for decimal numbers? Because we use 10 digits, the digits 0 through 9.

The Decimal Number System - base 10 The decimal number system is a positional number system with a base 10. Example: 1011 10112 = 1000 + 000 + 10 + 1 = 1 x 23 + 0 x22 + 1 x 21 + 1 x 20 = 1110 1000 000 10 1 1 x 23 0x22 1 x 21 1x 20

The Binary Number System The binary number system is also known as base 2. The values of the positions are calculated by taking 2 to some power. Why is the base 2 for binary numbers? Because we use 2 digits, the digits 0 and 1.

The Binary Number System – base 2 The decimal number system is a positional number system with a base 10. Example: 5623 5623 = 5000 + 600 + 20 + 3 = 5 x 103 + 6 x102 + 2 x 101 + 3 x 100 5000 600 20 3 5 x 103 6 x102 2 x 101 3 x 100

Why Bits (Binary Digits)? Computers are built using digital circuits Inputs and outputs can have only two values True (high voltage) or false (low voltage) Represented as 1 and 0 Can represent many kinds of information Boolean (true or false) Numbers (23, 79, …) Characters (‘a’, ‘z’, …) Pixels Sound Can manipulate in many ways Read and write Logical operations Arithmetic …

Base 10 and Base 2 Base 10 Base 2 Each digit represents a power of 10 5417310 = 5 x 104 + 4 x 103 + 1 x 102 + 7 x 101 + 3 x 100 Base 2 Each bit represents a power of 2 101012= 1 x 24 + 0 x 23 + 1 x 22 + 0 x 21 + 1 x 20 = 2110

The Binary Number System (con’t) The binary number system is also a positional numbering system. Instead of using ten digits, 0 - 9, the binary system uses only two digits, 0 and 1. Example of a binary number and the values of the positions: 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 26 25 24 23 22 21 20

Converting from Binary to Decimal 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 X 20 = 1 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 0 X 21 = 0 1 X 22 = 4 20 = 1 1 X 23 = 8 21 = 2 0 X 24 = 0 22 = 4 0 X 25 = 0 23 = 8 1 X 26 = 64 24 = 16 7710 25 = 32 26 = 64

Converting From Decimal to Binary (con’t) Make a list of the binary place values up to the number being converted. Perform successive divisions by 2, placing the remainder of 0 or 1 in each of the positions from right to left. Continue until the quotient is zero. Example: 4210 25 24 23 22 21 20 32 16 8 4 2 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 42/2 = 21 and R = 0 21/2 = 10 and R = 1 10/2 = 5 and R = 0 5/2 = 2 and R = 1 2/2 = 1 and R = 0 1/2 = 0 and R = 1 4210 = 1010102

Example 1210 We repeatedly divide the decimal number by 2 and keep remainders 12/2 = 6 and R = 0 6/2 = 3 and R = 0 3/2 = 1 and R = 1 1/2 = 0 and R = 1 The binary number representing 12 is 1100

Exercises Find the binary the decimal number represented by the following binary sequences: 110101 10111010 Represent the number 135 in base 2.

Bits, Bytes, and Words A bit is a single binary digit (a 1 or 0). A byte is 8 bits A word is 32 bits or 4 bytes Long word = 8 bytes = 64 bits Quad word = 16 bytes = 128 bits Programming languages use these standard number of bits when organizing data storage and access.

Adding Two Integers: Base 10 From right to left, we add each pair of digits We write the sum, and add the carry to the next column 0 1 1 + 0 0 1 Sum Carry 1 9 8 + 2 6 4 Sum Carry 4 6 1 2 1 1 1 1

Example 10011110 1101111 + + 111 1101 -------------------- ------------------- = 101 0 0 101 = 1111100

Boolean Algebra to Logic Gates Logic circuits are built from components called logic gates. The logic gates correspond to Boolean operations +, *, ’. Binary operations have two inputs, unary has one OR + AND * NOT ’

AND A Logic Gate: A*B B Truth Table: A B A*B 1

OR A Logic Gate: A+B B Truth Table: A B A+B 1

NOT Logic Gate: (also called an inverter) A A’ or A Truth Table: a A 1

n-input Gates Because + and * are binary operations, they can be cascaded together to OR or AND multiple inputs. A A B A+B+C ABC B C A A B A+B+C ABC B C C

n-bit Inputs For convenience, it is sometimes useful to think of the logic gates processing n-bits at a time. This really refers to n instances of the logic gate, not a single logic date with n-inputs. 1101100101 1101110111 0100110111 10001111 00001100 00111100 110001 001110

Logic Circuits ≡ Boolean Expressions All logic circuits are equivalent to Boolean expressions and any boolean expression can be rendered as a logic circuit. AND-OR logic circuits are equivalent to sum-of-products form. Consider the following circuits: A y=aB+Bc abc B C A B C Y aBc y Ab y=abc+aBc+Ab

NAND and NOR Gates NAND and NOR gates can greatly simplify circuit diagrams. As we will see, can you use these gates wherever you could use AND, OR, and NOT. A B AB 1 NAND A B AB 1 NOR

XOR and XNOR Gates XOR is used to choose between two mutually exclusive inputs. Unlike OR, XOR is true only when one input or the other is true, not both. A B AB 1 XOR A B A B 1 XNOR

Working with Large Numbers 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 = ? Humans can’t work well with binary numbers; there are too many digits to deal with. Memory addresses and other data can be quite large. Therefore, we sometimes use the hexadecimal number system.

The Hexadecimal Number System The hexadecimal number system is also known as base 16. The values of the positions are calculated by taking 16 to some power. Why is the base 16 for hexadecimal numbers ? Because we use 16 symbols, the digits 0 and 1 and the letters A through F.
