Data Representation Bits, Bytes, Binary, Hexadecimal
2
Computer Science “Joke” There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary… And those who don’t. Get it? If not, you will by the end of today’s lecture.. 1
3
Outline Bits and Bytes Binary Hexadecimal 2
4
Bits and Bytes Recall input / output of Logic Gates 0 => FALSE 1 => TRUE 3 A C B ABC = A & B 000 010 100 111
5
Bits and Bytes In reality, 0 and 1 represent voltage states (e.g., LOW / HIGH) These voltage states give the electrical circuit “life” 4 A C B ABC = A & B 000 010 100 111
6
Bits and Bytes Think of each input / output as a “light switch” Can be either “on” (TRUE, 1) or “off” (FALSE, 0) 5
7
Bits and Bytes Each “light switch” represents a bit bit stands for Binary digIT A bit can be either 0 or 1 A bit is the most basic element in computing Basis for logic gate circuits (logic gate circuits => more complex circuits) 6
8
Bits and Bytes When you put 8 bits together, you get a byte A byte is used to encode integers from 0 to 255 Or integers from -128 to 127 (more on this later) 7
9
Bits and Bytes In computers, a byte is the smallest addressable memory unit Memory units are defined in terms of bytes (not bits) E.g., Kilobytes (KB), Megabytes (MB), Gigabytes (GB), etc. Kilobyte: 1,000 bytes (thousand) Megabyte: 1,000,000 bytes (million) Gigabyte: 1,000,000,000 bytes (billion) 8
10
Bits and Bytes How many bits in 10 GB of storage? 9
11

13
Binary Numbers A computer’s machine language only uses ONES and ZEROS How does a computer represent a number using only bits? 12
14
Binary Numbers A byte can represent any number between 0 and 255 A byte is a sequence of eight bits, b 7 through b 0 13 b 7 b 6 b 5 b 4 b 3 b 2 b 1 b 0

29
Binary Numbers Same technique applies to represent larger numbers 2 bytes (16 bits) 4 bytes (32 bits) 8 bytes (64 bits) What’s the largest unsigned (positive only) number that can be represented using 16 bits? Hint: the largest number for 8-bits is 255… We’ll cover signed (positive and negative) numbers next time… 28
30
Binary Numbers Example of 16-bit number: 29 1000 0000 0000 0001
31
Binary Numbers Example of 16-bit number: 30 1000 0000 0000 0001 = 2 15 + 2 0 = 32,768 + 1 = 32,769
32
Binary Numbers To convert decimal to binary… “Reverse” the process… 1.Find largest power of 2 that “fits” within the decimal value 2.Record 1 in the associated log 2 placeholder (in binary sequence) 3.Subtract power of 2 value from original decimal number 4.Repeat until nothing remains 31
33
Binary Numbers Example: Decimal to Binary What is the binary sequence for decimal number 250? 1.Find largest power of two that fits in 250 128 2.Record 1 in associated placeholder (128 = 2 7, 7 th position) => 1000 0000 3.Subtract power of two value from original decimal (250 – 128 = 122) 4.Repeat until there’s nothing left. 32
34
Binary Numbers Example: Decimal to Binary 1.Find largest power of two that fits in 122 64 2.Record 1 in associated placeholder (64 = 2 6, 6 th position) => 1100 0000 3.Subtract power of two value from original decimal ( 122 – 64 = 58 ) 4.Repeat until there’s nothing left. 33
35
Binary Numbers Example: Decimal to Binary 1.Find largest power of two that fits in 58 32 2.Record 1 in associated placeholder (32 = 2 5, 5 th position) => 1110 0000 3.Subtract power of two value from original decimal ( 58 - 32 = 26) 4.Repeat until there’s nothing left. 34
36
Binary Numbers Example: Decimal to Binary 1.Find largest power of two that fits in 26 16 2.Record 1 in associated placeholder (16 = 2 4, 4 th position) => 1111 0000 3.Subtract power of two value from original decimal ( 26 – 16 = 10) 4.Repeat until there’s nothing left. 35
37
Binary Numbers Example: Decimal to Binary 1.Find largest power of two that fits in 10 8 2.Record 1 in associated placeholder (8 = 2 3, 3 th position) => 1111 1000 3.Subtract power of two value from original decimal ( 10– 8 = 2 ) 4.Repeat until there’s nothing left. 36
38
Binary Numbers Example: Decimal to Binary 1.Find largest power of two that fits in 2 2 2.Record 1 in associated placeholder (2 = 2 1, 1 st position) => 1111 1010 3.Subtract power of two value from original decimal ( 2 – 2 = 0 ) 4.Repeat until there’s nothing left. DONE!! 37
39
Binary Numbers What is the binary sequence for decimal number 250? 38 250 = 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 2 = 2 7 + 2 6 + 2 5 + 2 4 + 2 3 + 2 1 = 1111 1010

Outline Bits and Bytes Binary Hexadecimal 40
42
Hexadecimal Writing and representing binary numbers can be cumbersome Hard to read / write large sequences of 0s and 1s Hexadecimal offers succinct way to represent binary numbers E.g., 41 1011 0101 = 0xB5
43
Hexadecimal Decimal numbers are base 10 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Hexadecimal numbers are base 16 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F Note: we prefix hexadecimal numbers with 0x Why use hex? Easier to represent binary numbers… 42
44
Hexadecimal 4-bit numbers go from 0 to 15 0000 => 0 1111 => 15 Hexadecimal is base 16 Can easily represent numbers between 0 and 15 0 => 0x0 15 => 0xF Thus, we can represent 0000 as 0x0 1111 as 0xF 43
45
Hexadecimal This can be abstracted to 8-bit numbers… One hex number represents the first 4-bits One hex number represents the second 4-bits 44 1011 0101 1011 = 11 = 0xB 0xB5 0101 = 5 = 0x5
46
Hexadecimal This works with 16, 32, and 64-bit numbers One hex number per 4-bits 45 1111 0110 1100 0001 0x6 0xF6C1 0xC0xF0x1
47
Hexadecimal 46 1111 0110 1100 0001 (binary) = 0xF6C1 (hex) = 63,169 (decimal)
