Codes for Numbers

  • Egyptian
    • ~4000 BC
    • “Sum of Symbols”

Positional Code for Numbers

  • Babylonians
    • Positional system
    • 2000 BC
    • Radix 60
    • = 1 = 10

Babylonian Example

1 x 60^2 20 x 60^1 56 x 60^0

Positional Code with Zero

  • Zero Represented by Space
    • Partial solution
    • What about trailing zeros?
  • Babylonians Introduced New Symbol
    • or
    • 4th to 1st Century BC
  • Zero Allows Representation of Fractions
    • Fractions started with zero

Migration of Positional

Notation

  • ~750 AD
    • Zero spread from India to Arabic countries
  • ~1250 AD
    • Zero spread to Europe
  • Importance of Zero
    • Ease of arithmetic which leads to improved
commerce

Binary Number System

  • Binary
    • Positional number system
    • Two symbols, B = { 0, 1 }
    • Easily implemented using switches
    • Easy to implement in electronic circuitry
    • Algebra invented by George Boole (1815-1864)
allows easy manipulation of symbols

Signed-magnitude representation of signed numbers

Advantages:
Disadvantages:
  • conceptual simplicity
  • symmetric range: -(2k-1-1) .. -(2k-1-1)
  • simple negation
  • addition of numbers with the same sign and with
a different sign handled differently
