Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 1.4, Problem 4QE
Explanation of Solution
- “LeD or incandescent bulb”, is the device that can have two states, ON and OFF.
- When the current flows through the circuit, the bulb is ON and it indicates a high state.
- When the switch is OFF, there is no current in the circuit and the device is OFF and it indicates a low state.

Describe a device from everyday life that can be in either of two states, such as a flag on a flagpole that is either up or down. Assign the symbol 1 to one of the states and 0 to the other, and show how the ASCII representation for the letter b would appear when stored with such bits.
Please explain
Consider the decimal number (-48.325). Write down binaryrepresentation of this number using the IEEE 745 single precision format. Clearly specify “Sign”, “Exponent” and “Mantissa” fields of the single precisionrepresentation.

- Please help me solve this problem with kind explanations :) We are running programs on a machine where values of type int have a 32-bit two's complement representation. Values of type float use the 32-bit IEEE format, and values of type double use the 64-bit IEEE format. We generate arbitrary integer values x, y, and z, and convert them to values of type double as follow: /* Create some arbitrary values */ int x = random(); int y = random(); int z = random(); /* Convert to double */ double dx = (double) x; double dy = (double) y; double dz = (double) z; For each of the following C expressions, you are to indicate whether or not the expression always yields 1.
