Program Plan Intro

Steps to convert binary number into decimal value:

  • If “0” is appeared in the Left most Significant Bit (LSB), it denotes the sign of the decimal value is positive. Binary number can be directly converted into decimal number.
  • The sign of the decimal value is negative, if the LSB is one.
    • If “1” is appeared in the LSB, compute 2’s complement of the decimal value.
    • To find 2’s complement, transform the bits from “0” to “1” and from “1” to “0”, which gives 1’s complement and then add “1” to the result.
  • Decimal value can be obtained by adding the powers of “2”, which having the coefficients “1”.
  • The user includes a minus sign in front of the decimal value, if the original number is negative.

b.

Explanation of Solution

Conversion from the binary number “01011010” to decimal value:

  • The LSB of the binary number is “0” and it represents the sign of the decimal value is positive.
  • Hence, the user can directly compute the magnitude value as follows,

27×0+26×1+25×0+24×1

c.

Explanation of Solution

Conversion from the binary number “11111110” to decimal value:

  • The LSB of the binary number is “1” and it represents the sign of the decimal value is negative.
  • The user should find the 2’s complement representation as follows,
    • Find the 1’s complement by transforming the bits from “0” to “1” and from “1” to “0”.
    • Hence, the 1’s complement of the number is ‘00000001”.
    • Add “1” to the above result. “00000001+1”, which gives “00000010”.
  • The 2’s complement representation of the positive number is “00000010”...

d.

Explanation of Solution

Conversion from the binary number “0011100111010011” to decimal value:

  • The LSB of the binary number is “0” and it represents the sign of the decimal value is positive.
  • Hence, the user can directly compute the magnitude value as follows,

215×0+214×0+213×1+212×1+211×1+210×0+29×0+28×1+27×1+26×1+2

Methods (Ch6) - Review 1. (The MyRoot method) Below is a manual implementation of the Math.sqrt() method in Java. There are two methods, method #1 which calculates the square root for positive integers, and method #2, which calculates the square root of positive doubles (also works for integers). public class SquareRoot { public static void main(String[] args) { } // implement a loop of your choice here // Method that calculates the square root of integer variables public static double myRoot(int number) { double root; root=number/2; double root old; do { root old root; root (root_old+number/root_old)/2; } while (Math.abs(root_old-root)>1.8E-6); return root; } // Method that calculates the square root of double variables public static double myRoot(double number) { double root; root number/2; double root_old; do { root old root; root (root_old+number/root_old)/2; while (Math.abs (root_old-root)>1.0E-6); return root; } } Program-it-Yourself: In the main method, create a program that…
