For Question 1 Parts A-D below, Explain Why it is True or False

A) Both sign-and-magnitude representation and twos complement representation use the most significant bit as a sign bit.

B) When you want to represent -0.0000000000001 as an 8-bit float point number but the float point system cannot represent it due to limit of bits, you have a negative overflow.

C) The value of an unsigned integer is interpreted as the magnitude of its underlying binary pattern.

D) RISC systems typically have a small ISA (fewer instructions) but make up for it with faster hardware.

Explanation / Answer

A) False, Only signed magnitude uses MSB as sign bit

B) False, No it's negative underflow since the value of exponent will also be negative.

C) True, Unsigned binary integer it self shows the magnitude of it

D) True, RICS uses simple instruction set architecture that is why it is faster compare to CISC.
