Binary Representation of Numeric and Textual Information (continued) • Representing integers • Decimal integers are converted to binary integers • Given k bits, the largest unsigned integer is 2k - 1 • Given 4 bits, the largest is 24-1 = 15 • Signed integers must also represent the sign (positive or negative) Invitation to Computer Science, Java Version, Second Edition
10 347 • 34 7 • 3 4 • 0 3 Converting from base 10 to base 2 • Note that the individual digits of an integer can be obtained by repeatedly dividing it by 10 and recording the successive remainders, for example: • Given a positive base 10 integer, converting to base 2 can be done by repeatedly dividing the integer by 2 and recording the successive remainders, which will be 0 or 1. The sequence written in the reverse order of how they were generated is the base 2 representation of the integer. Invitation to Computer Science, Java Version, Second Edition
Converting from base 10 to base 2 • For example, suppose we wish to convert 343 to base 2. • The repeated division and remainders can be displayed in a table with the rightmost column listing the remainders. • Thus, 34310 = 1010101112. Invitation to Computer Science, Java Version, Second Edition
Converting from base 2 to base 10 • Given a positive base 2 integer, converting to base 10 can be done by multiplying each of the bits by 2 to the power corresponding to the position of the bit in the number. The sum of these products is the base 10 representation of the number. The computation starts with the least significant bit, i.e. bit position 0. Thus we process the bits in this order: 101010111 Invitation to Computer Science, Java Version, Second Edition
Converting from base 2 to base 10 • For example, suppose we wish to convert 101010111 to base 10. The computation can be displayed as in the table. • Thus, 1010101112 = 34310. Invitation to Computer Science, Java Version, Second Edition
