1. Numeral Systems
 A numeral is a symbol or group of symbols that
represents a number.


0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, ...
 A numeral system (or system of numeration) is a
framework where a set of numbers are represented by
numerals in a consistent manner.
 Number system:


A set of objects on which arithmetic operations can be
performed.
E.g.: the real numbers, the rational numbers

Types of Numeral Systems - 1
 The unary numeral system

Every natural number is represented by a corresponding
number of symbols.
 E.g.:
If the symbol $ is chosen, then the number seven would
be represented by $$$$$$$.

The unary notation can be abbreviated by introducing
different symbols for certain new values.
 E.g.:
if $ stands for one, % for ten and # for 100, then the
number 304 can be compactly represented as ###$$$$ and
number 123 as #%%$$$.

 The positional system:



A system in which each position has a value represented
by a unique symbol or character.
For each position, the resultant value of each position is
the value of that character multiplied by a power of the
base number for that numeral system.
The position of each character or symbol (usually called
a digit) counting from the right determines the power of
the base that is to be multiplied by that digit.

Binary Numeral System
 The binary numeral system is a system for
representing numbers in which a radix of two is
used; that is, each digit in a binary numeral may
have either of two different values.
 Typically, the symbols 0 and 1 are used to
represent binary numbers.
 Owing to its relatively straightforward
implementation in electronic circuitry, the binary
system is used internally by virtually all modern
computers.

4. Analog and Digital Information
 Analog signal

A signal that has a continuous nature rather than a pulsed or discrete
nature.
 Digital signal

A signal in which discrete steps are used to represent information.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Digitization
 The advantages of digitization

reliable high-speed signal transmission

quality duplication

easy manipulation and processing
 The primary disadvantage of digital
signals is their large size resulting in
high-storage requirements.
國立聯合大學電子工程學系 – 計算機概論 – 蕭裕弘
Chapter 3: Page 19 / 63
Analog-to-Digital Conversion
 The continuous signal
is usually sampled at
regular intervals by an
analog to digital
converter (ADC) and
the value of the
continuous signal in
that interval is
represented by a
discrete value.

Why Do We Use Binary?
 Modern computers are designed to use and manage
binary values because the devices that store and
manage the data are far less expensive and far more
reliable if they only have to represent on of two
possible values.

5. Representing Integer Data
 In computer science, the term integer is used to refer to any data type which
can represent some subset of the mathematical integers.
 The most common representation of a positive
integer is a string of bits, using the
binary numeral system.
 Four different ways to represent negative
numbers in a binary numeral system:

Signed-magnitude

One’s complement

Two’s complement

Excess N

Chapter 3: Page 23 / 63
Signed-Magnitude Representation
 In mathematics, signed numbers in some
arbitrary base is done in the usual way, by
prefixing it with a "-" sign. However, on a
computer, there is no single way of representing
a number's sign.
 One may first approach this problem of
representing a number's sign by allocating one
bit to represent the sign:

Set that bit (often the most significant bit) to 0
for a positive number.

Set that bit to 1 for a negative number.

The remaining bits in the number indicate the
(positive) magnitude.

One's Complement Representation
 The 1's complement representation in binary of a positive integer is no
different from the sign-magnitude representation of that integer.
 The 1's complement in binary of a negative integer is obtained by
subtracting its magnitude from 2n -1 where n is the number of bits used to
store the integer in binary.
* Convert -36 in a byte to 1's complement form
Step 1: convert the magnitude of the integer to binary
+3610 = 0010 01002

Two’s Complement Representation - 1
 With two's complement notation, all
integers are represented using a fixed
number of bits with the leftmost bit
given a negative weight.

E.g.:

1001 00102 = -1 * 27 + 1 * 24 + 1 * 21
= -128 + 16 + 2 = -11010

1000 00002 = -1 * 27 = -12810

1111 11112 = -110

Advantages of Two's Complement Representation
 It's easy to negate any integers:
simply complement each bit and add
1 to the result.
 The left most bit tells you if the
integer is positive (0) or negative (1).
 The normal rules used in the addition
of (unsigned) binary integers still
work (throw away any bit carried out
of the left-most position).
 只需利用加法電路即可執行加法與
減法。
國立聯合大學電子工程學系 – 計算機概論 – 蕭裕弘
* Convert -36 in a byte to 2's
complement form
Step 1: convert the magnitude of
the integer to binary
+3610 = 0010 01002
Step 2: complement each bit
0010 0100
=> 1101 1011
Step 3: Add I to the result

Excess-N Representation
 This is a representation that is
primarily used in floating point
numbers.
 It uses a specific number as a base.
Under excess-N, a standard number
representation is 'shifted' downwards
such that the number 0 is represented
as N as a binary number.
 For example the Excess-3
representation for 3 bits is as left:

7. Floating-Point Representations
 A floating-point number is a digital representation for a number in a certain
subset of the rational numbers, and is often used to approximate an arbitrary
real number on a computer.


In particular, it represents an integer or fixed-point number (the significand
or, informally, the mantissa) multiplied by a base (usually 2 in computers)
to some integer power (the exponent).
When the base is 2, it is the binary analog of scientific notation (in base 10).
 A floating-point number a can be represented by two numbers m and e, such
that a = m × be.



m is a p digit number of the form ±d.ddd...ddd (each digit being an integer
between 0 and b−1 inclusive).
If the leading digit of m is non-zero, then the number is said to be
normalized.
Some descriptions use a separate sign bit (s, which represents −1 or +1) and
require m to be positive.

IEEE Floating-Point Standard (IEEE 754)
 The IEEE floating-point standard (IEEE 754) is an IEEE standard, used by many
CPUs and FPUs, which





defines formats for representing floating-point numbers;
representations of special values (i.e., zero, infinity, very small values (denormal
numbers), and bit combinations that don't represent a number (NaN));
five exceptions, when they occur, and what happens when they do occur;
four rounding modes;
a set of floating-point operations that will work identically on any conforming
system.
 IEEE 754 specifies four formats for representing floating-point values:





single-precision (32-bit)
double-precision (64-bit)
single-extended precision (>= 43-bit, not commonly used)
double-extended precision (>= 79-bit, usually implemented with 80 bits).
Only 32-bit values are required by the standard, the others are optional.

Problems with Floating-Point
 Floating-point numbers usually behave very similarly to the real numbers they are
used to approximate. However, this can easily lead programmers into overconfidently ignoring the need for numerical analysis.
 Errors in floating-point computation can include:

Rounding

Non-representable numbers: for example, the literal 0.1 cannot be represented
exactly by a binary floating-point number

Rounding of arithmetic operations: for example 2/3 might yield 0.6666667

Absorption: 1×1015 + 1 = 1×1015

Cancellation: subtraction between nearly equivalent operands

Overflow, which usually yields an infinity

Underflow

Invalid operations (such as an attempt to calculate the square root of a non-zero
negative number). Invalid operations yield a result of NaN (not a number).

Bit and Bytes
 位元 (bit)

在數位電腦系統中，所有資料都是由一組位元 (bit) 所組成的。每個位
元的值可以是 0 或 1。

Bit = Binary digit 的縮寫。
 位元組 (byte) 或字元 (character)

由於位元所能代表的內容只有 0 或 1，為了讓人們更方便記憶與溝通，
於是將 8 個位元 (bits) 組合成一個位元組 (byte)，並以位元組作為資料
處理的基本單位。

為了讓位元的組合能用於代表人類所能瞭解的資料，因此人們設計了
多種編碼系統 (encoding system)，以建立位元組合與字元 (character) 的
對應方式。

常見的字元編碼方式大都採用位元組容量的倍數來處理，如一個位元
組 (28 = 256) 或是兩個位元組 (216 = 65536)。

9. Representing Text
 To represent a text document in digital form, we need to be
able to represent every possible character that may appear.
 There are finite number of characters to represent, so the
general approach is to list them all and assign each a binary
string.
 A character set is a particular mapping between characters and
binary strings.

 Images and graphics data consists of
still picture.
 Methods for storing graphics data:


Bitmap
 Bitmap graphics form images as a map
of hundreds of thousands of dots, called
as pixels.
 The number of pixels used to represent a
picture is called the resolution.

Representing Color Graphics - 1
 Color is a sensation caused by light as it interacts with
the eye, brain, and our experience.
 Media that transmit light (such as television) use
additive color mixing with primary colors of red,
green, and blue, each of which stimulates one of the
three types of the eye's color receptors with as little
stimulation as possible of the other two.

Representing Color Graphics - 2
 Color depth: The amount of data used to represent
a color.

1-bit color (21) black or white

8-bit color uses 8 bits to create a color, resulting in
256 colors. This is called a limited color pallet.

16-bit uses 16 bits to create life-like colors, with a
total of 65,536 colors.

24 and 32 bit color can each have 16,777,216 and
4,294,967,296 colors, respectively. This type of color
is called true color, since it can potentially mimic
many colors found in the real world.

In 24 bit color, each number in an RGB value gets 8
bits.


30 * 352 * 240 * 3 = 7,603,200 Bytes  7 MB
 In computer science, data compression is the process of
encoding data so that it takes less storage space or less
transmission time than it would if it were not compressed.

Types of Data Compression Algorithms
 Lossless data compression

The original data can be reconstructed exactly from the compressed data.

Lossless data compression is used in software compression tools such as the
highly popular Zip format, used by PKZIP and WinZip.
 Lossy data compression

One where compressing a file and then decompressing it retrieves a file that
may well be different to the original, but is "close enough" to be useful in
some way.

Lossy methods are most often used for compressing sound or images.

The advantage of lossy methods over lossless methods:

In some cases a lossy method can produce a much smaller compressed file
than any known lossless method, while still meeting the requirements of the
application.

Data Compression Algorithm Examples
 Run-length encoding

A very simple form of data compression in which runs of data are
stored as a single data value and count, rather than as the original
run.
WWWWWBBBBWWWWWBWWWWWWWWWWWWBBB
 W5B4W5B1W12B3
 Huffman coding

An entropy encoding algorithm used for data compression that finds
the optimal system of encoding strings based on the relative
frequency of each character.

Representing Video Data
 Video is basically a three-dimensional array of color pixels

Two dimensions serve as spatial (horizontal and vertical) directions of the (moving)
pictures.

One dimension represents the time domain.
 A frame is a set of all pixels that (approximately) correspond to a single point in
time. Basically, a frame is the same as a (still) picture.
 However, video data contains spatial and temporal redundancy. Video compression
typically reduces this redundancy using lossy compression. Usually this is achieved
by image compression techniques to reduce spatial redundancy from frames and
motion compensation techniques to reduce temporal redundancy.
 The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is a small group charged with the
development of video and audio encoding standards.
