Page 76: Ch1.number systems

ITEC 1011 Introduction to Information Technologies

Subtraction with Complements

• Complements are used for simplifying the subtraction operations.

• There are two types of complements for each base-r system: the r's complement and the (r — l)'s complement.

• 2's complement and 1's complement for binary numbers, and the 10's complement and 9's com plement for decimal numbers.

Page 77: Ch1.number systems

ITEC 1011 Introduction to Information Technologies

9's complement

• The 9's complement of a decimal number is obtained by subtracting each digit from 9.

•  • The 9's complement of 546700 is:• 999999 - 546700 = 453299.• The 9's complement of 012398 is:• 999999 - 012398 = 987601.

Page 78: Ch1.number systems

ITEC 1011 Introduction to Information Technologies

Binary numbers, the 1's complement

• The 1's complement of a binary number is formed by changing 1's to 0's and 0's to 1's.

• Examples: •  The 1's complement of 1011000 is• 0100111• The 1's complement of 0101101 is• 1010010

Page 79: Ch1.number systems

ITEC 1011 Introduction to Information Technologies

10's complement

• The 10's complement can be formed by leaving all least significant 0's un changed, subtracting the first nonzero least significant digit from 10, and subtracting all higher significant digits from 9.

• The 10's complement of 012398 is 987602.• The 10's complement of 246700 is 753300.

Page 80: Ch1.number systems

ITEC 1011 Introduction to Information Technologies

2's complement

• The 2's complement can be formed by leaving all least significant 0's and the first 1 unchanged, and replacing 1's with 0's and 0's with 1's in all other higher significant digits.

• The 2's complement of 1101100 is• 0010100• The 2's complement of 0110111 is• 1001001

Page 81: Ch1.number systems

ITEC 1011 Introduction to Information Technologies

Subtraction with Complements

• The subtraction of two n-digit unsigned numbers M — N in base r can be done as follows:

• Add M to the r's complement of N. • If M ≥ N, the sum will produce an end carry, r n,

which is discarded; what is left is the result M - N.• If M < N, the sum does not produce an end carry.

To obtain the answer in a familiar form, take the r's complement of the sum and place a negative sign in front.

Page 82: Ch1.number systems

ITEC 1011 Introduction to Information Technologies

Examples to illustrate the procedure

• Given the two binary numbers;• X = 1010100 and Y = 1000011, • perform the subtraction:• (a) X — Y • (b) Y — X • using 2's complements.

Page 83: Ch1.number systems

ITEC 1011 Introduction to Information Technologies

X — Y= 1010100 —1000011

• X = 1010100• 2's complement of Y = + 0111101• Sum = 10010001• Discard end carry = -10000000• Answer: X — Y = 0010001•  

Page 84: Ch1.number systems

ITEC 1011 Introduction to Information Technologies

Y — X= 1000011 — 1010100

• Y = 1000011• 2's complement of X = + 0101100• Sum = 1101111• There is no end carry.• Answer:• Y - X = -(2's complement of 1101111) • = - 0010001

Binary Codes

• Binary codes are codes which are represented in binary system with modification from the original ones.

• Binary codes are classified as:– Weighted Binary Systems – Non Weighted Codes

Page 87: Ch1.number systems

ITEC 1011 Introduction to Information Technologies

Weighted Binary Systems

• Weighted binary codes are those which obey the positional weighting principles,

• Each position of the number represents a specific weight.

• The codes 8421, 2421, 5421, and 5211 are weighted binary codes.

ITEC 1011 Introduction to Information Technologies

Weighted Binary Systems

Page 89: Ch1.number systems

ITEC 1011 Introduction to Information Technologies

8421 Code/BCD Code

• The BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) is a straight assignment of the binary equivalent.

• It is possible to assign weights to the binary bits according to their positions.

• The weights in the BCD code are 8,4,2,1.•  Example: The bit assignment 1001, can be seen by

its weights to represent the decimal 9 because:• 1x8+0x4+0x2+1x1 = 9• Ex. number 12 is represented in BCD as [0001 0010]

Page 90: Ch1.number systems

ITEC 1011 Introduction to Information Technologies

2421 Code

• 2421 Code This is a weighted code, its weights are 2, 4, 2 and 1.

• A decimal number is represented in 4-bit form and the total four bits weight is 2 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 9.

• Hence the 2421 code represents the decimal numbers from 0 to 9.

Page 91: Ch1.number systems

ITEC 1011 Introduction to Information Technologies

5211 Code

• 5211 Code This is a weighted code, its weights are 5, 2, 1 and 1.

• A decimal number is represented in 4-bit form and the total four bits weight is 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 9.

• Hence the 5211 code represents the decimal numbers from 0 to 9.

Reflective Code• Reflective Code A code is said to be

reflective when code for 9 is complement for the code for 0, and so is for 8 and 1 codes, 7 and 2, 6 and 3, 5 and 4.

• Codes 2421, 5211, and excess-3 are reflective, whereas the 8421 code is not.

Sequential Codes• Sequential Codes A code is said to be sequential

when two subsequent codes, seen as numbers in binary representation, differ by one.

• This greatly aids mathematical manipulation of data.

• The 8421 and Excess-3 codes are sequential, whereas the 2421 and 5211 codes are not.

Excess-3 Code• Excess-3 Code Excess-3 is a non weighted code

used to express decimal numbers. • The code derives its name from the fact that each

binary code is the corresponding 8421 code plus 0011(3).

• Example: 1000 of 8421 = 1011 in Excess-3

Error Detecting and Correction Codes

• For reliable transmission and storage of digital data, error detection and correction is required.

Error Detecting Codes

• When data is transmitted from one point to another there are chances that data may get corrupted.

• To detect these data errors, we use special codes, which are error detection codes.

Parity check

• In parity codes, every binary message is checked if they have even number of ones or even number of zeros.

• Based on this information an additional bit is appended to the original data.

•  At the receiver side, once again parity is calculated and matched with the received parity, and if they match, data is ok, otherwise data is corrupt.

• There are two types of parity: Even parity and Odd Parity

Parity

• There are two types of parity:• Even parity: Checks if there is an even

number of ones; if so, parity bit is zero. When the number of ones is odd then parity bit is set to 1.

Parity

• Odd Parity: Checks if there is an odd number of ones; if so, parity bit is zero. When number of ones is even then parity bit is set to 1.

Alphanumeric Codes

• The binary codes that can be used to represent all the letters of the alphabet, numbers and mathematical symbols, punctuation marks, are known as alphanumeric codes or character codes.

• These codes enable us to interface the input-output devices like the keyboard, printers, video displays with the computer.

ASCII Code

•  ASCII Code ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.

• It has become a world standard alphanumeric code for microcomputers and computers.

• It is a 7-bit code representing 27 = 128 different characters.

• These characters represent 26 upper case letters (A to Z), 26 lowercase letters (a to z), 10 numbers (0 to 9), 33 special characters and symbols and 33 control characters.

•

ASCII Code

• The 7-bit code is divided into two portions, The leftmost 3 bits portion is called zone bits and the 4-bit portion on the right is called numeric bits.

ASCII Code

• An 8-bit version of ASCII code is known as ASCII-8.

• The 8-bit version can represent a maximum of 256 characters.

EBCDIC Code

• EBCDIC Code EBCDIC stands for Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange.

• It is mainly used with large computer systems like mainframes.

• EBCDIC is an 8-bit code and thus accommodates up to 256 characters.

• An EBCDIC code is divided into two portions: 4 zone bits (on the left) and 4 numeric bits (on the right).
