36
Q

how do you add binary

A

add the number using the two’s complement rules

37
Q

how do you subtract binary

A

-convert the subtracting number to negative by finding the first 1 from LSB and flipping the other numbers
-add the numbers
-if answer is supposed to be negative flip the binary result
-if there
eg. 0111 - 1010 (7 - 10)
(10) 1010 - (-10) 0110
0111 + 0110 = 1101 -> - 0011 (flipped)
(7 + (-10) = -3)

38
Q

when does overflow in two’s complement happen

A

when the 2 numbers are same sign and the result is different sign
eg. positive + positive = negative
negative + negative = positive

75
Q

what compression does text, image, audio and video data use

eg. aaa aa - 05 97
05 - number of identical data items
97 - ASCII code for “a”
-it changed from 5 bits to 4 bits
