Computer Science Problem: 

Convert the following 32-bit two's complement binary numbers into decimal
numbers:
a. 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1010 0010 1010two
b. 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 1100 1011 0001two

Expert Solution
Step 1

(a)

First bit is nagtive hence we came to know that number is negative

Now , invert all the bits of number i.e. 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1010 0010 1010 becomes 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0101 1101 0101  , Now add 1 to this new number i.e.

 

0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0101 1101 0101

                                                                  +1

0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0101 1101 0110 

 

Now we can multiply this number with 2^n starting from back  where n>=0 

2^0 *0 + 2^1 *1 + 2^2*1 .....

 

By solving this we get 1494 , as the two complement was having 1 , as first digit , hence -1494 is ans
