Q1. What is a Number System? What are different types of number system?

Number system
A number system is a set of digits, symbols and rules to express quantities in counting and calculations. Following are the most commonly used number systems:

Decimal Number System

It is most commonly used number system. It has 10 symbols{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}. It is also called base 10 number system. People normally use decimal number system to represent numbers.


Binary Number System

In binary number system there are only two symbols {0 and 1}. In a computer all data is represented by Binary number system. This is because computer’s electronic switches have only two states on and OFF. When a switch is ON it represents a 1 and when a switch is OFF, it represents a Zero.

Octal Number System

Octal number system consists of 8 digits{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}. Its base is 8. It is used as shorthand for long binary numbers. Each octal digit represents 3 binary digits.

Hexadecimal Number System

Hexadecimal number system is used to represent long binary numbers in an easy and short form. Its base is 16. It has sixteen symbols{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F}. Each hexadecimal digit represents 4 binary digits.

Q2. Conversion of Decimal (Integer part) to other systems

                                  
a) 4510 = (?)2   
b) 11910 =(?)8
c) 19010 =(?)16
2
45

0  -11(B)
   
           

=> 4510 = (101101)2                          11910=(167)8                       19010=(BE)16                       


Q3. Conversion of Decimal system (Fraction part) to other systems

a) (.23)10   = (?)2
b) (.225)10 = (?)8
c) (.225)10 = (?)16
Fraction
Integer
.23 X 2 = 0.46
.46
0
.46 X 2 = 0.92
.92
0
.92 X 2 = 1.84
.84
1
.84 X 2 = 1.68
.68
1
.68 X 2 = 1.36
.36
1

=> (.23)10   = (.00111)2        [Similar method is used for decimal (fraction) to Octal (multiply by 8)and hexadecimal(multiply by 16)]

Q4. Conversion of Other systems (Integer part) to Decimal


a)  (101101)2    =( ? )10     b)    (167)8  = (?)10                 (BE)16 =(?)10                      
   
  a) (101101)2                                                   
     =1x25+0x24+1x23+1x22+0x21+1x20 
    = 32   + 0   +   8   +  4   + 0     +1
    = 45 
b) (167)8          
     =1x82+6x81+7x80 
    = 64   + 48   +  7
    = 119 
c) (BE)2            
     =Bx161+Ex160 
    =  11x161+14x160 
    =  176   + 14
    =   190 


Q5. Conversion of Other systems(Fraction part) to Decimal number system

a)  (.110)2    =( ? )10     b)    (.75)8  = (?)10                 (.13)16 =(?)10                       
   
  a) (.110)2                                                        
     =.{1x2-1+1x2-2+0x2-3} 
     =.{ 1/2   + 1/4   +   0}
     =.{  .5    +  .25  +    0}
     =.75
b) (.75)8            
     =.{7x8-1+5x8-2  }
     =.{ 7/8   + 5/64 }
     = .{.875 + .0781}
     = .9531 
c) (.13)16           
     =.{1x16-1+3x16-2  }
     =.{1/16   +3/256} 
    =  .{.0625   + .01171}
    =   .0742 



      Conversion of  non-decimal Number system to Other non-decimal number system


      For example to convert OCTAL into HEXADECIMAL, use the follwing steps:

1)            Convert octal into decimal

2)            Convert decimal into hexadecimal

Types Of Network Topology

Today, we will types of network topology . What is a Network Topology? Definition of Network topology is the shape of the network . It is the physical layout of connected devices in a network. It tells us how a network will look like. Network Topology ( Definition 2) : The way in which the connections are made among all the network entities is called the topology of the network. Network Topology ( Definition 3) :Network topology specifically refers to the physical layout of the network, e.g., the location of the computers and how the cable is run between them. Network Topology ( Definition 4) :The physical topology of a network refers to the configuration of cables, computers, and other peripherals. The characteristics of a network depend upon the network topology selected. types of network topology Explain different types of network Topology Different network topologies are as follows: 1. Bus Topology 2. Ring Topology 3. Star Topology 4. Tree Topolo...

Basic Structure of HTML Document

Basic Structure of HTML Document  The basic structure of an HTML document is given below: <HTML>         <HEAD>                  </HEAD>                 <BODY>                </BODY> </HTML> The above format shows that an HTML document starts with <HTML> tag and ends with </HTML> tag. It is also clear that an HTML document consists of two main sections:  Head Section Head section is used to specify a title of the web page, normally. There are some other uses of Head section too, like linking external style sheets and Java script code, etc. Head section starts with the <HEAD> tag and ends with the </HEAD> tag. <TITLE> tag is used to display a title of...
