Chapter 1, Problem 11E

Program Plan Intro

a)

Determining the values represented by bits:

Single bits can represent two values 0 and 1. Two digits can represent 4 values and three digits can represent 8 values. These values could be determined by the formula $2^n$ where “n” represent the number of bits.

Explanation of Solution

b)

Determining the values represented by 16 bits:

Formula to find the values of “n” bits: $2^n$

Number of bits: 16

Values represented

Explanation of Solution

c)

Determining the values represented by 32 bits:

Formula to find the values of “n” bits: $2^n$

Number of bits: 32

Values represented by 32 bits: $$
