Write down the bit pattern in the fraction of value 1/3 assuming a floating point format that uses Binary Coded Decimal (base 10

) numbers in the fraction instead of base 2. Assume there are 24 bits, and you do not need to normalize. Is this representation exact?

Answer:

The resulting floating bit representation is:

0 00101010101010101 000001                 (24 bits)

Explanation:

Converting 1/3 in decimal: 0.3333...

For converting decimal number into binary we know that the digits on the left of decimal are multiplied with positive powers of 2 (starting from zero) while digit on right side are multiplied with negative powers of  2 (starting from -1).

For example: The number 123.45 (decimal) is equal to:  

=1 * 10^2 + 2 * 10^1 + 3 * 10^0 + 4 * 10^-1 + 5 * 10^-2

=1 * 100 + 2 * 10 + 3 * 1 + 4 * 0.1 + 5 * 0.01

Now for the decimal number 0.3333... the pattern becomes:

0*0 . 3*2^-1+3^-2+3^-3+3^-4.....

The first negative power (2^-1 = 0.5) is too large to fit. The next one is 2^-2 = 0.25 and it fits, so let's subtract that: 0.3333… - 0.25 = 0.08333… The next power that fits is 2^-4 = 0.0625. Subtracting that from the remaining result we get 0.08333…- 0.0625 = 0.0208333…

Continuing on this line we get:

0.3333333…. (decimal) = 0.0101010101010101….. (binary)

Now for creating a 24 bit floating point format that uses Binary Coded Decimal we have to assign bits as follows:

  • 6 bits for the exponent
  • 17 bits for the mantissa.
  • In this case the sign bit is 0 (1 bit) because the number is non-negative.

As we need not to normalize obtained number, then the exponent will be simply 1, and the mantissa remains: 00101010101010101...

Now

The mantissa is 0.0101010101010101 (17 bits)

The exponent is 000001 (6 bits).

The resulting floating bit representation is 0 00101010101010101 000001

Answer:

A. f/2.8

Explanation:

A hole within a lens, through which light travels into the camera body is referred to as the APERTURE.

It is typically expressed as "f number" in photography. Basically, a fast lens is any lens with a maximum aperture of f/4 or more i.e f/2.8 , f/1.8 , f/1.4 etc.

The smaller the number is the bigger the maximum aperture is. Hence, the bigger the maximum aperture the more light that your lens will allow in.

Therefore, the ideal aperture settings for a fast lens is f/2.8

True or false? Main Content (MC) may include links on the page.
nevsk [136]
True. 
You can create a permalink which is also a link inside your main content to link your topic to another similar or helpful topic. Sometimes we can put it in a way that we only pasted the entire link or just used a work then insert the link inside that work to redirect to another page

Which of the following is used to allocate memory for the instance variables of an object of a class?1. the reserved word public
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be 2. the operator new.

Explanation:

New operator is used to allocating the memory to the instance object.The new object can be created by using a "new" keyword in java .

Syntax of using 'new' operator is :

class_name object_name=new class_name() // it allocated the memory to the class

For Example :

ABC obj = new ABC;  

Now, this time obj points to the object of the ABC class.

obj = new ABC ();

call the construction of ABC class
