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. [ 3]
Decimal: 9 1. Binary : 1001 0001. Hence the numerical range for one unpacked BCD byte is zero through nine inclusive, whereas the range for one packed BCD byte is zero through ninety-nine inclusive. To represent numbers larger than the range of a single byte any number of contiguous bytes may be used.
A binary number is a number expressed in the base -2 numeral system or binary numeral system, a method for representing numbers that uses only two symbols for the natural numbers: typically "0" ( zero) and "1" ( one ). A binary number may also refer to a rational number that has a finite representation in the binary numeral system, that is, the ...
Unicode, formally The Unicode Standard, [ note 1] is a text encoding standard maintained by the Unicode Consortium designed to support the use of text in all of the world's writing systems that can be digitized. Version 15.1 of the standard [ A] defines 149 813 characters [ 3] and 161 scripts used in various ordinary, literary, academic, and ...
Offset binary, [ 1] also referred to as excess-K, [ 1] excess-N, excess-e, [ 2][ 3] excess code or biased representation, is a method for signed number representation where a signed number n is represented by the bit pattern corresponding to the unsigned number n + K, K being the biasing value or offset. There is no standard for offset binary ...
Computer number format. A computer number format is the internal representation of numeric values in digital device hardware and software, such as in programmable computers and calculators. [ 1] Numerical values are stored as groupings of bits, such as bytes and words. The encoding between numerical values and bit patterns is chosen for ...
Signed number representations. In computing, signed number representations are required to encode negative numbers in binary number systems. In mathematics, negative numbers in any base are represented by prefixing them with a minus sign ("−"). However, in RAM or CPU registers, numbers are represented only as sequences of bits, without extra ...
