Learning Goals: Pre-Class
By the start of class, you should be able to:
– Convert positive numbers from decimal to binary
and back.
– Convert positive numbers from hexadecimal to
binary and back.
– Take the two’s complement of a binary number.
– Convert signed (either positive or negative)
numbers to binary and back.
– Add binary numbers.

Learning Goals: In-Class
By the end of this unit, you should be able to:
– Critique the choice of a digital representation
scheme—including describing its strengths,
weaknesses, and flaws (such as imprecise
representation or overflow) —for a given type of
data and purpose, such as (1) fixed-width binary
numbers using a two’s complement scheme for
signed integer arithmetic in computers or (2)
hexadecimal for human inspection of raw binary
data.

We can choose any
arrangement of Ts # p q r
and Fs to represent 0 F F F
numbers... 1 F F T

But, we might as well 3 F T T

...base 2 numbers.
When we represent # p q r
negative numbers, the 0 0 0 0
choice is also arbitrary, 1 0 0 1
but may as well be 2 0 1 0

• Easy to tell negative

• Basic operations easy.

But... What does it mean for basic operations to be ―easy‖?
Prelude: Additive Inverse
The ―additive inverse‖ of a number x is
another number y such that x + y = 0.
What is the additive inverse of 3?
What is the additive inverse of -7?
We want to be able to add signed binary numbers. We need
x + -x to be 0. And, we want addition to be easy to implement.

Problem: Clock Arithmetic
Problem: It’s 0500h.
How many hours until
midnight? Give an
algorithm that
requires a 24-hour
clock, a level, and no
arithmetic.
A level is a carpentry tool, essentially a straightedge
15
that indicates when it is either horizontal or vertical.
Clock Arithmetic
0500 is five hours from midnight.
1900 is five hours to midnight.
5 and 19 are ―additive inverses‖
in clock arithmetic: 5 + 19 = 0.
So are any other numbers that
are ―across the clock‖ from
each other.
16
That’s even true for 12. Its additive inverse is itself!
Clock Arithmetic Problem
It’s 18 hundred. Without using numbers
larger than 24 in your calculations, what
time will it be 22*7 hours from now?
(Don’t multiply 22 by 7!)
a. 0 hundred (midnight)
b. 4 hundred
c. 8 hundred
d. 14 hundred
e. None of these (Clock arithmetic is also known as 17
modular arithmetic in mathematics.)
Clock Arithmetic:
Food for Thought
If we wanted negative
numbers on the clock,
we’d probably put them 0
―across the clock‖ from -3
the positives.
-6
After all, if 3 + 21 is
already 0, why not put -3 -9
where 21 usually goes? -12
18
Unsigned Binary Clock
Here’s a 3-bit unsigned
000 binary clock,
111 001
numbered from 0
(000) to 7 (111).
110 010
101 011
100
19
Crossing the Clock
To ―cross the clock‖, go
000 as many ticks left
111 001
from the top as you
previously went right
110 010 from the top.
Here’s a clock labelled
101 011 with 0 (000) to 3 (011)
100 and -1 (111) to -4
(100).

Reminder:
Two’s Complement
Taking two’s complement of B = b1b2b3...bn:
Flip 1 1 1 ...1
the - b1b2b3...bn
bits
----------
x1x2x3...xn
Add
one + 1
----------
-B
21
A Different View of
Two’s Complement
Taking two’s complement of B = b1b2b3...bn:
Flip 1 1 1 ...1 1 1 1 ...1
the - b1b2b3...bn + 1
bits
---------- ----------
x1x2x3...xn 1 0 0 0 ...0
Add
one + 1 - b1b2b3...bn
----------
----------
-B
-B
Or... Just subtract from 100...0 22
Two’s Complement vs.
Crossing the Clock
Two’s complement with k ―Crossing the clock‖ with k
bits: bits:
1 1 1 ...1
+ 1
000
---------- 111 001
1 0 0 0 ...0
110 010
- b1b2b3...bn
---------- 101 011
100
-B
Equivalent to subtracting Equivalent to subtracting
from 100...000 with k 0s. from 100...000 with k 0s.
Two’s complement turns numbers into their
23
―normal‖, ―cross-the-clock‖ additive inverses.
Problem: Why Two’s
complement?
Why make the negation of 010 be 110?
a. 010 + 110 already equals 0.
b. 010 + 110 equals 1000. 000
111 001
c. 110 is the easiest
negation to calculate.
110 010
d. 110 isn’t being used
for any other purpose.
101 011
e. If you invert the bits in 100
110 and add 1, you get 010. 24
Summary Questions (1 of 2)
• With n bits, how many distinct values can we represent?
• What’s the smallest/largest n-bit unsigned binary integer?
• What’s the smallest/largest n-bit signed (using two’s complement)
binary integer?
• Why the ―extra‖ negative number?
• How many representations for each number do we have with
unsigned/signed binary integers?
25
Summary Questions (2 of 2)

zero?
• How do we tell if a signed binary integer is: negative, positive, zero?
• How do we negate a signed binary integer?
• What one value does that negation fail (or at least do something
weird) on for signed binary integers?
• How do we calculate the decimal value of a positive signed binary
integer?
• How do we calculate the decimal value of a negative signed binary
integer?

28
Problem: 1/3 Scottish
Problem: Can you be 1/3 Scottish?
To build a model, we must clearly specify
the problem. Many problems admit
multiple models that lead to fundamentally
different results.
We’re going to use the model of
parentage ―endowing‖ 50% of each
parent’s ―ish-ness‖. That’s a coarse, even
silly model. (By that model, none of us
are Canadian, since humans did not
originate in Canada.)
Our model is handy for us, but it’s not
necessarily what people’s identity is
about! 29
Can you be one-third Scottish?
Focus on Mom (and Mom’s Mom and so on).
We’ll just make Dad “Scot” or “Not” as needed at each step.
Mom: Dad:
?? ??
Can you be one-third Scottish?
Mom: Dad:

Mom: Dad:
2/3 Not
Can you be one-third Scottish?
Mom: Dad:
?? ??
Mom: Dad:
1/3 Scot
Mom: Dad:
2/3 Not
And so on...
Mom:
1/3
Can you be one-third Scottish?
Dad:
Scot
Mom: Dad:
2/3 Not
Mom: Dad:
1/3 Scot
What’s
happening
here?
Mom: Dad:
2/3 Not
0 . 0 1 0 1..
Now, focus on Dad...
We can represent fractions in
binary by making “Scottish family trees”:
Mom: Dad:
1/3 Scot
Mom: Dad:
2/3 Not
Mom: Dad:
1/3 Scot
Mom: Dad:
2/3 Not
Here’s 0.375 in binary...
0.0 1 1
Mom: Dad:
0.0 Scot
Mom: Dad:
0.5 Scot
Mom: Dad:
0.75 Not
Problem: 1/3 Scottish
Which of the following numbers can be
precisely represented with a finite number of
digits/bits using a ―decimal point‖-style
representation in base 10 but not base 2?
a. 1/9
b. 1/8
c. 1/7
d. 1/6
e. None of these.
36
So... Computers Can’t
Represent 1/3?
No! Using a different scheme (e.g., a
rational number with a separate integer
numerator and denominator), computers
can perfectly represent 1/3!
The point is: Representations that use a
finite number of bits (all of them) have
weaknesses. Know those weaknesses
and their impact on your computations!

// Make i one LARGER. Oops!
i++;
} while (i > 0);
What will this print?
a. First 1.0 and then nothing because it runs forever.
b. First 1.0 and then some other value, because it won’t run forever.
c. First something OTHER than 1.0 and then nothing because it runs forever.
d. First something OTHER than 1.0 and then some other value,
because it won’t forever. 41
e. None of these

Preface: Java Byte Code
Java programs are compiled to a language called ―byte
code‖ that is then interpreted on a particular computer.
Why? Byte code is hard for humans to write, read, and
understand... but it’s easy to write a program that reads
and executes it (compared to writing a program to
directly read and execute Java source code).
So, if you create a brand new type of computer tomorrow,
and I want to run my Java code on it, I don’t have to
write a program that works on your computer and knows
how to execute Java; I just need to write a program that
knows how to execute byte code.
Java byte code is also designed to be compact so it’s
cheap to transmit across the internet.
Problem: Java Byte Code
Problem: When compiled to bytecode, i = 100 might be
―push 100; store in variable 1‖. The ―opcode‖ for
bipush (push a byte) is 1610. The opcode for
istore_1 is 6010. Here’s a typical ―hex‖ view of ~1/5th
of the previous program’s byte code. Where is i =
100? a
b
b
d
c
44
e: None of these.
Problem:
Binary Byte Code
Why would the same task (finding a particular snippet of
code in a bytecode file) be much more difficult if the
file were represented in binary?
a. Because we would have to translate all the opcodes
and values to binary.
b. Because many bytecode files would have no binary
representation.
c. Because the binary representation of the file would
be much longer.
d. Because data like 1100100 (100 in base 2) might not
show up as the sequence of numbers 1 1 0 0 1 0 0.
e. It wouldn’t be much more difficult.
45
Problem:
Decimal Byte Code
Why would the same task (finding a particular
snippet of code in a bytecode file) be much more
difficult if the file were represented in decimal?
a. Because we would have to translate all the
opcodes and values to decimal.
b. Because many bytecode files would have no
decimal representation.
c. Because the decimal representation of the file
would be much longer.
d. Because data like 100 might not show up as the
sequence of numbers 1 0 0.
e. It wouldn’t be much more difficult.
