  2. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    The base-2 numeral system is a positional notation with a radix of 2.Each digit is referred to as a bit, or binary digit.Because of its straightforward implementation in digital electronic circuitry using logic gates, the binary system is used by almost all modern computers and computer-based devices, as a preferred system of use, over various other human techniques of communication, because ...

  3. Change of base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_base

    In mathematics, change of base can mean any of several things: Changing numeral bases , such as converting from base 2 ( binary ) to base 10 ( decimal ). This is known as base conversion .

  4. Signed number representations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_number_representations

    In the base2 representation, a signed number is represented using a number system with base2. In conventional binary number systems, the base, or radix, is 2; thus the rightmost bit represents 2 0, the next bit represents 2 1, the next bit 2 2, and so on. However, a binary number system with base2 is also possible.

    BER: variable-length big-endian binary representation (up to 2 2 1024 bits); PER Unaligned: a fixed number of bits if the integer type has a finite range; a variable number of bits otherwise; PER Aligned: a fixed number of bits if the integer type has a finite range and the size of the range is less than 65536; a variable number of octets ...

  6. Double dabble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dabble

    In computer science, the double dabble algorithm is used to convert binary numbers into binary-coded decimal (BCD) notation. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is also known as the shift-and-add -3 algorithm , and can be implemented using a small number of gates in computer hardware, but at the expense of high latency .

  7. Non-integer base of numeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-integer_base_of_numeration

    Base2 behaves in a very similar way to base 2 as all one has to do to convert a number from binary into base2 is put a zero digit in between every binary digit; for example, 1911 10 = 11101110111 2 becomes 101010001010100010101 √ 2 and 5118 10 = 1001111111110 2 becomes 1000001010101010101010100 √ 2.

  8. Half-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-precision_floating...

    E min = 00001 2 − 01111 2 = −14; E max = 11110 2 − 01111 2 = 15; Exponent bias = 01111 2 = 15; Thus, as defined by the offset binary representation, in order to get the true exponent the offset of 15 has to be subtracted from the stored exponent. The stored exponents 00000 2 and 11111 2 are interpreted specially.

  9. Modular exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_exponentiation

    If a instead is one, the variable base (containing the value b 2 i mod m of the original base) is simply multiplied in. In this example, the base b is raised to the exponent e = 13. The exponent is 1101 in binary. There are four binary digits, so the loop executes four times, with values a 0 = 1, a 1 = 0, a 2 = 1, and a 3 = 1.
