Have you ever tried to distinguish between the most significant and least important bits?

Convert the following one's complement signed 8-bit numbers into decimal. Be sure to show all of your work. (a) (0000 1010) 2 (b) (1111 1010) 2 (c) (0111 1010) 2 (d) (1111 1111) 2

Convert the following decimal numbers into an 8-bit two's complement signed representation. Be sure to show all of your work. (a) (-32) ten (b) (+78) ten (c) (-127) ten (d) (-1) ten

In single precision (IEEE-754 standard), 8 bits are used for storing the exponent (the bias is 127), and 23 bits are used for storing the mantissa.  (a) What are the smallest and the largest positive numbers that can be stored in single precision? (b) What is the smallest value of the mantissa that can be stored?

Convert the following decimal numbers into 8-bit two's complement representation, and then perform the required arithmetic operation. Show your works. -1010-6010

What does it imply when a bit is "activated" in regard to a number? What does it imply when a bit is represented numerically but is not connected?
