Question

Assume each value below shows an integer in 2's complement representation in 2, 4, 8, and 16 bits length. Convert each binary number to decimal.

Answer 1

To convert binary numbers to decimal, we can assign each bit a place value starting from the right and sum up the values. The decimal equivalent of the given binary numbers is as follows: In 2 bits: 10 → (-2), In 4 bits: 0100 → (4), In 8 bits: 00100011 → (35), In 16 bits: 0000000010000011 → (131).

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Conversion of binary numbers to decimal:
   1. In 2 bits: 10 → (-2)
   2. In 4 bits: 0100 → (4)
   3. In 8 bits: 00100011 → (35)
   4. In 16 bits: 0000000010000011 → (131)
