Octal subtraction:

The rules for subtracting two octal numbers are as follows:

  • Read both the numbers to know the number of bits.
  • If the number of bits in the first number is less than that of the other number, add the required number of zeros on the left side.
  • Numbers are represented in bytes where one byte is equal to 8 bits.
  • Align the number in correct order after padding. The octal number that is followed by a minus sign should be subtracted from the other octal number.

Explanation of Solution

b.

“1234 – 765”:

  • Start numbers from right to left.
    • Subtract “5” from “4”.
      • Here “4” is less than “5”. As a result, borrow a number from adjacent left hand side.
      • After borrowing it becomes “2” as adjacent left side number is “3”.
      • After borrowing, add “8” with “4”.
      • Add “8” with “4” and then subtract it from “5”, which give “7”. The equivalent octal number for number “7” is “7”. Hence, write “7” to the result.
    • Subtract “6” from “2”.
      • Here “2” is less than “6”. Borrow number from adjacent left side.
      • After borrowing, it becomes “1” as adjacent left side number is “2”.
      • After borrowing, add “8” with “2”.
      • Add “8” with “2” and then subtract this from “6”, which give “4”...

Explanation of Solution

c.

“7766 – 5544”:

  • Start with the numbers from right to left.
    • Subtract “4” from “6” which results in “2”.
    • Subtract “4” from “6” which results in “2”.
    • Subtract “7” from “5” which results in “2”...

Subject: DBMS Explain in easy way and do not use chatgpt   A database is being constructed to keep track of the teams and games of a sports league. A team has a number of players, not all of whom participate in each game. It is desired to keep track of the players participating in each game for each team, the positions they played in that game, and the result of the game. Design an ER schema diagram for this application, stating any assumptions you make. Choose your favorite sport (e.g., soccer, baseball, football).
