Chapter 2.2, Problem 2.19PP
Program Plan Intro

Unsigned encoding:

  • The unsigned encoding is represented by the interpretation function of “B2Uw”.
    • The function “B2Uw” means “binary to unsigned” of length “w”.
  • The equation for “B2Uw” is

    B2Uw(x)Bi=0w-1xi2i

  • From the above equation,
    • The notation denotes that the side of left-hand is defined to be equal to the side of right-hand.
    • The function “B2Uw” maps string of 0’s and 1’s of length “w” to nonnegative integers.
    • The bit length is “w”.
    • A bit vector is x  which is denoted by entire vector or [xw1,xw2,........,x0]:
    • Each bit “xi” contains value “0” or “1”.

Example:

The example of “B2Uw” is shown below:

Consider, value of x is “0100” which contains bits length “4”.

Therefore using the above equation, user can compute the B2U4(0100)

B2U4(0100)=0×23+1×22+0×21+0×20 =0+4+0+0 =4

“T2U” function:

  • The function “T2U” means conversion of “Two’s complement to unsigned” with “w” length bits.
  • This function is computed by the below formula

    T2Uw(x)=B2Uw(T2Bw(x))

  • From the above equation, first convert the two’s complement to binary and then convert the binary to unsigned.

Example:

The example of “T2Uw” is shown below:

Consider, value of x is “-6” and bit length is “4”.

To find the two’s complement, first need to take 1’s complement to given binary and then add one with it.

The formula for find the value of “T2Uw” is given below

T2U4(-6)=B2U4(T2B4(-6))

Step 1: convert the two’s complement to binary

Binary value of “6”: 0110

1’s complement of “0110”: 1001

Add 1:       1

---------------------------------------------

2’s complement of binary: 1010 (-6)

Therefore, T2B4(6)=1010

Step 2: convert the given binary to unsigned.

B2U4(1010)=1×23+0×22+1×21+0×20 =1×8+0+1×2+0 =8+0+2+0 =10

T2U4(-6)=B2U4(1010)=10

Therefore, T2U4(-6)=10

(4) [8]Write code for a function multBy3divBy4, that for argument int x, computes 3*x/4, but follows the bit-level integer coding rules (text p.128) like in problem 3 of the assignment 1. (you may assume ints are 32 bits). (Note: The operation in your code 3*x is allowed to cause overflow.)
Problem 3 (Taking User Input) Write a function called user_input() that takes an integer n as a parameter. This function should display the integer n to the user and prompt them to enter its equivalent binary value (the user just has to make a guess here). Your function should return the user input. Sample output: Do you know the binary equivalent of 12345? > 101111 12345 is the input argument (n) to your function. And your function should return 101111 (user input). Problem 4 (Making a Game) Print Activity Details
Chapter 3: Practice Problems VIII. You are given the following C code to compute integer absolute value: int abs(int x) { } return x > (sizeof(int)*8-1); int comp = x mask; return comp; } A. What bit pattern does mask have, as a function of x? B. What numerical value does mask have, as a function of x? C. For what values of x do functions abs and opt abs return identical results? D. For the cases where they produce different results, how are the two results related? E. Show that with the addition of just one single arithmetic operation (any C operation is allowed) that you can fix opt abs. Show your modifications on the original code. (You can just provide the line that you will add). F. Are there any values of x such that abs returns a value that is not greater than 0? Which value(s)?
