Explain the octal to decimal conversion and hexadecimal to decimal conversion |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Answer» Octal to Decimal Conversion: To convert Octal to Decimal, we can use positional notation method. 1. Write down the Octal digits and list the powers of 8 from right to left(Positional Notation). 2. For each positional notation of the digit write the equivalent weight. 3. Multiply each digit with its corresponding weight. 4. Add all the values. Example: Convert (1265)8 to equivalent Decimal number
(1265)8 = 512 x 1 + 64 x 2 + 8 x 6 + 1 x 5 = 512 + 128 + 48 + 5 (1265)8 = (693)10 Hexadecimal to Decimal Conversion: To convert Hexadecimal to Decimal we can use positional notation method. 1. Write down the Hexadecimal digits and list the powers of 16 from right to left (Positional Notation). 2. For each positional notation written for the digit, now write the equivalent weight. 3. Multiply each digit with its corresponding weight. 4. Add all the values to get one final value. Example: Convert (25F)16 into its equivalent Decimal number.

Write short note Unicode? |
|
Answer» This coding system is, used in most of the modem computers. The popular coding scheme after ASCII is Unicode. ASCII can represent only 256 characters. Therefore English and European Languages alone can be handled by ASCII. Particularly there was a situation, when the languages like Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Telugu could not be represented by ASCII. Hence, the Unicode was generated to handle all the coding system of Universal languages. This is 16 bit code and can handle 65536 characters. |
