Ok right, i'm on a computer course and im on my computer systems part of the course, which i have recieved a peice of work to do towards my marks.
I've done alot of it, just need help on two parts, hope someone can help and explain what i need to do to be able to work them out.
I have been given 5 numbers to convert into certain different types such as binary etc.
My numbers are: 6,12,73,127,225
The two im stuck on are;
Convert to; 4 bit BCD, Using 2 bytes, with a leading sign bit
(requires 16 box's to be filled in on each number, one digit per box, so 16 digits per number i'm converting)
Convert to; 7 bit ASCII, With a leading EVEN parity bit on every byte
(requires 8 box's to be filled in on each number, one digit per box, so 8 digits per number i'm converting)
if anyone could give a example with another number of how to convert to each, i will do mine myself, i'm jsut confused on how to actualy convert them.
