Different Representations of Natural Numbers
XXVII Roman numerals (not positional)
27 Radix-10 or decimal number (positional)
110112 Radix-2 or binary number (also positional)
Fixed-radix positional representation with k digits
Number N in radix r = (dk–1dk–2 . . . d1d0)r
Value = dk–1×r k–1 + dk–2×r k–2 + … + d1×r + d0
Examples: (11011)2 = 1×24 + 1×23 + 0×22 + 1×2 + 1 = 27
(2103)4 = 2×43 + 1×42 + 0×4 + 3 = 147

Binary Numbers
Each binary digit (called bit) is either 1 or 0
Bits have no inherent meaning, can represent
Unsigned and signed integers
Characters
Floating-point numbers
Images, sound, etc.
Bit Numbering
Least significant bit (LSB) is rightmost (bit 0)
Most significant bit (MSB) is leftmost (bit 7 in an 8-bit number)

Converting Binary to Decimal
Each bit represents a power of 2
Every binary number is a sum of powers of 2
Decimal Value = (dn-1 2n-1) + … + (d1 21) + (d0 20)
Binary (10011101)2 = 27 + 24 + 23 + 22 + 1 = 157

Multiply each digit by its corresponding power of 16
Value = (dn-1 16n-1) + (dn-2 16n-2) + … + (d1 16) + d0
Examples:
(1234)16 = (1 163) + (2 162) + (3 16) + 4 =
Decimal Value 4660
(3BA4)16 = (3 163) + (11 162) + (10 16) + 4 =

Signed Integers
Several ways to represent a signed number
Sign-Magnitude
Biased
1’s complement
2’s complement
Divide the range of values into 2 equal parts
First part corresponds to the positive numbers (≥ 0)
Second part correspond to the negative numbers (< 0)
Focus will be on the 2's complement representation
Has many advantages over other representations
Used widely in processors to represent signed integers

11111110 254 -2
11111111 255 -1
Positive numbers
Signed value = Unsigned value
Negative numbers
Signed value = Unsigned value – 2n
n = number of bits
Negative weight for MSB
Another way to obtain the signed value is to assign a negative weight to most-significant bit
= -128 + 32 + 16 + 4 = -76

Forming the Two's Complement
Sum of an integer and its 2's complement must be zero:
00100100 + 11011100 = 00000000 (8-bit sum) Ignore Carry
Another way to obtain the 2's complement:
Start at the least significant 1
Leave all the 0s to its right unchanged
Complement all the bits to its left
starting value 00100100 = +36
step1: reverse the bits (1's complement) 11011011
step 2: add 1 to the value from step 1 + 1
sum = 2's complement representation 11011100 = -36
Binary Value
= 00100 1 00
2's Complement
= 11011 1 00

Data Representation COE 301 – Computer Organization – KFUPM © Muhamed Mudawar – slide ‹#›
Sign Bit
Highest bit indicates the sign
1 = negative
0 = positive
For Hexadecimal Numbers, check most significant digit
If highest digit is > 7, then value is negative
Examples: 8A and C5 are negative bytes
B1C42A00 is a negative word (32-bit signed integer)

Sign Extension
Step 1: Move the number into the lower-significant bits
Step 2: Fill all the remaining higher bits with the sign bit
This will ensure that both magnitude and sign are correct
Examples
Sign-Extend 10110011 to 16 bits
Sign-Extend 01100010 to 16 bits
Infinite 0s can be added to the left of a positive number
Infinite 1s can be added to the left of a negative number
10110011 = -77
11111111 10110011 = -77
01100010 = +98
00000000 01100010 = +98
Data Representation COE 301 – Computer Organization – KFUPM © Muhamed Mudawar – slide ‹#›
Two’s Complement of a Hexadecimal
To form the two’s complement of a hexadecimal
Subtract each hexadecimal digit from 15
Add 1
Examples:
2’s complement of 6A3D = 95C2 + 1 = 95C3
2’s complement of 92F15AC0 = 6D0EA53F + 1 = 6D0EA540
2’s complement of FFFFFFFF = 00000000 + 1 = 00000001
No need to convert hexadecimal to binary
Data Representation COE 301 – Computer Organization – KFUPM © Muhamed Mudawar – slide ‹#›
Binary Subtraction
When subtracting A – B, convert B to its 2’s complement
Add A to (–B)
0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1
0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 (2’s complement)
0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 (same result)
Final carry is ignored, because
Negative number is sign-extended with 1’s
You can imagine infinite 1’s to the left of a negative number
Adding the carry to the extended 1’s produces extended zeros

Ranges of Signed Integers
For n-bit signed integers: Range is -2n–1 to (2n–1 – 1)
Positive range: 0 to 2n–1 – 1
Negative range: -2n–1 to -1
Practice: What is the range of signed values that may be stored in 20 bits?
Storage Type Signed Range Powers of 2
Byte –128 to +127 –27 to (27 – 1)
Half Word –32,768 to +32,767 –215 to (215 – 1)
Word –2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647 –231 to (231 – 1)

Carry and Overflow
Carry is important when …
Adding or subtracting unsigned integers
Indicates that the unsigned sum is out of range
Either < 0 or >maximum unsigned n-bit value
Overflow is important when …
Adding or subtracting signed integers
Indicates that the signed sum is out of range
Overflow occurs when
Adding two positive numbers and the sum is negative
Adding two negative numbers and the sum is positive
Can happen because of the fixed number of sum bits

Character Storage
Character sets
Standard ASCII: 7-bit character codes (0 – 127)
Extended ASCII: 8-bit character codes (0 – 255)
Unicode: 16-bit character codes (0 – 65,535)
Unicode standard represents a universal character set
Defines codes for characters used in all major languages
Used in Windows-XP: each character is encoded as 16 bits
UTF-8: variable-length encoding used in HTML
Encodes all Unicode characters
Uses 1 byte for ASCII, but multiple bytes for other characters
Null-terminated String
Array of characters followed by a NULL character
Data Representation COE 301 – Computer Organization – KFUPM © Muhamed Mudawar – slide ‹#›
Printable ASCII Codes
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
2 space ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . /
3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > ?

5 P Q R S T U V W X Y Z [ \ ] ^ _
6 ` a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o
7 p q r s t u v w x y z { | } ~ DEL
Examples:
ASCII code for space character = 20 (hex) = 32 (decimal)
ASCII code for ‘L’ = 4C (hex) = 76 (decimal)
ASCII code for ‘a’ = 61 (hex) = 97 (decimal)
Data Representation COE 301 – Computer Organization – KFUPM © Muhamed Mudawar – slide ‹#›
Control Characters
The first 32 characters of ASCII table are used for control
Control character codes = 00 to 1F (hexadecimal)
Not shown in previous slide
Examples of Control Characters
Character 0 is the NULL character used to terminate a string
Character 9 is the Horizontal Tab (HT) character
Character 0A (hex) = 10 (decimal) is the Line Feed (LF)
Character 0D (hex) = 13 (decimal) is the Carriage Return (CR)
The LF and CR characters are used together
They advance the cursor to the beginning of next line
One control character appears at end of ASCII table
Character 7F (hex) is the Delete (DEL) character
