(Solved) : Computers Choose Particular Word Length Measured Bits Representing Integers Many Current G Q26807767 . . . .

 

Most computers choose a particular word length (measured inbits) for representing integers. Many current-generation processorshave a word length of 64 bits.

a. How many different values can be encoded in a word of 64 bitsif all values are to be positive integers (that is, unsignedrepresentation, not two’s-complement)? Express your answeras a power of two.

   2^_____

b. Suppose we now use 128-bit words, but use two’s-complementrepresentation to allow for negative integers. How many distinctvalues can be encoded? Express your answer again as a power oftwo.

   2^_____

c. What is the binary representation of the most negative number(i.e., the negative number with the largest magnitude)
