Haha... i'm already struggling here lol...
The teacher never explained this to me..so give me a hand here.
What is signed and magnitude and how do you this? My teacher told me about Least Significant Number but the booklet says Most Significant Number, what the heck? And what about the two's complement?
Let say that you want to find a base 2 from a decimal number of -5. Do you write the number as positive binary, flipped the binaries around and add 1?
And how do you change base2 back to base 10? Do you have to do the same thing, except that you must use subtraction of 1?
Also, i know how to calculate the range from the formula given.... but what does you use it for?
There is also something about exponent & mantissa... again, haven't got a clue about this....
And oh..what do you use ASCII for?
Sorry that i've asked too many questions but i'm completely lost.
