  2. Gray code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_code

    The first few steps of the reflect-and-prefix method. 4-bit Gray code permutation. The binary-reflected Gray code list for n bits can be generated recursively from the list for n − 1 bits by reflecting the list (i.e. listing the entries in reverse order), prefixing the entries in the original list with a binary 0, prefixing the entries in the ...

  3. Binary-coded decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal

    The reason for adding 6 is that there are 16 possible 4-bit BCD values (since 2 4 = 16), but only 10 values are valid (0000 through 1001). For example: 1001 + 1000 = 10001 9 + 8 = 17 10001 is the binary, not decimal, representation of the desired result, but the most significant 1 (the "carry") cannot fit in a 4-bit binary number.

  4. Gillham code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gillham_Code

    The transponder gets its altitude information from an encoding altimeter mounted behind the instrument panel that communicates via the Gillham code. Gillham code is a zero-padded 12-bit binary code using a parallel nine-[1] to eleven-wire interface, [2] the Gillham interface, that is used to transmit uncorrected barometric altitude between an ...

  5. Offset binary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offset_binary

    The 5-bit Baudot code used in early synchronous multiplexing telegraphs can be seen as an offset-1 (excess-1) reflected binary (Gray) code. One historically prominent example of offset-64 (excess-64) notation was in the floating point (exponential) notation in the IBM System/360 and System/370 generations of computers.

  6. Aiken code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiken_code

    Aiken code (symmetry property) Aiken code in hexadecimal coding. The following weighting is obtained for the Aiken code: 2-4-2-1. One might think that double codes are possible for a number, for example 1011 and 0101 could represent 5. However, here one makes sure that the digits 0 to 4 are mirror image complementary to the numbers 5 to 9.

  7. Double dabble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dabble

    In the 1960s, the term double dabble was also used for a different mental algorithm, used by programmers to convert a binary number to decimal. It is performed by reading the binary number from left to right, doubling if the next bit is zero, and doubling and adding one if the next bit is one. [5]

  8. Sign extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_extension

    In a move or convert operation, zero extension refers to setting the high bits of the destination to zero, rather than setting them to a copy of the most significant bit of the source. If the source of the operation is an unsigned number, then zero extension is usually the correct way to move it to a larger field while preserving its numeric ...

  9. Hamming distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_distance

    For a fixed length n, the Hamming distance is a metric on the set of the words of length n (also known as a Hamming space), as it fulfills the conditions of non-negativity, symmetry, the Hamming distance of two words is 0 if and only if the two words are identical, and it satisfies the triangle inequality as well: [2] Indeed, if we fix three words a, b and c, then whenever there is a ...
