Advanced Binary for Programming & Computer Science: Logical, Bitwise and Arithmetic Operations, and Data Encoding and Representation

Advanced Binary for Programming & Computer Science (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This book explains how the binary works & how it is used by computers to represent information including positive & negative integers, characters & real numbers. It explains the logical & bitwise operations used to manipulate information & perform arithmetic. We also briefly look at how computers store this information in memory & secondary storage, & how it can be transmitted between computers. Topics covered include: INTRODUCING NUMBER BASES & BINARY CONVERTING FROM BINARY TO DENARY & VICE-VERSAHow to Convert a Binary Number to DenaryHow to Convert a Denary Number to Binary HOW COMPUTERS GROUP BINARY DIGITSA Closer Look at BytesA Closer Look at Words-Word alignment, word alignment & packing, byte ordering & endiannessAddresses BOOLEAN OPERATIONS & LOGIC GATESFundamentals of Boolean Algebra-NOT, AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR, NXORCombining Logic Gates-NOT, AND, OR, XOR, NOR using NAND logicLogical Versus Bitwise OperationsUsing Bitwise Operations to Set, Clear, Flip or Test Bits-Setting bits, inverting bits, clearing bits, testing bits ADDING & SUBTRACTING IN BINARYAdding Binary Integers-The column addition method of adding denary numbers & adding binary numbers, implementing binary addition using logic gatesSubtracting Binary Integers-The column subtraction methods of subtracting denary numbers & subtracting binary numbers, implementing binary subtraction using logic gates SHIFT OPERATIONSLeft ShiftRight ShiftCircular Shifts MULTIPLICATION & DIVISION IN BINARYMultiplication-Multiplying by a power of 2, column multiplication, Russian peasant multiplication algorithm, multiplication in hardwareDivision-Dividing by a power of 2, denary long division, binary long division, algorithm for binary long division, division in hardware REPRESENTING CHARACTERS & STRINGS OF CHARACTERSRepresenting Individual Characters-ASCII, extended ASCIIs, BCDIC & other early character encodings, EBCDIC, UnicodeRepresenting Strings of Characters-Terminated strings, length-prefixed strings, other string representations REPRESENTING TEXT & GRAPHICS ON SCREENText Mode DisplaysBitmap Displays PARITY CHECKINGWhat is a Parity BitEven & Odd ParityAdvantages, Disadvantages & Limitations of Using Parity CheckingParity's Use in RAID Storage DevicesUnused Parity Bits SIGNED INTEGERSOffset BinarySigned Magnitude RepresentationOne's ComplementTwo's ComplementOther Representations of Signed Numbers-Base -2, signed-digit representation REAL NUMBERSFixed Point RepresentationFloating Point RepresentationRational Data TypeLogarithmic Number Systems DENARY ENCODINGS & DECIMAL DATA TYPESWhy Use Denary Representations of Real Numbers?Binary Encodings of Denary-Serial decimal, two-out-of-five, bi-quinary, character-based encodings of denary, binary-Coded Decimal (BCD), Chen-Ho Encoding, Densely Packed Decimal (DPD) & excess-3Decimal Data Types-Which numbers can be exactly represented in fixed & floating point?-How inexact?-Issues with inexact representation-Decimal representation DATA STRUCTURESStructsArraysLinked Lists & More Complex Structures-Limitations of arrays, introducing linked lists, singly & doubly linked lists, more complex data structures TYPES OF COMPUTER MEMORYMagnetic-Core Memory & Core Rope MemoryRAM-DRAM & SRAMROM-Mask-programmed ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, Flash memory SECONDARY STORAGESequential Storage-Punched tape, magnetic tapeRandom Access Sto Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
