NUMBER SYSTEMS &

DATA REPRESENTATION
FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER AND PROGRAMMING
NUMBER SYSTEM

• Is a method of expressing values, using a set of symbols in a consistent Manner

• Several number systems has been used in the past which can be categorized into two (2):
positional and non positional number systems.
POSITIONAL NUMBER SYSTEM

• In a positional number system, the position the symbol occupies determines the value it
represents, thus, it is also often called the PLACE VALUE system.
HOW DOES IT WORKS?

• If number is represented as:

• Then it has the value of:

IMPORTANCE OF THIS TOPIC TO THE ENGINEERING
STUDENTS:

Number systems and data representation are


fundamental concepts in engineering education, serving
as the building blocks for various disciplines within the
field. Here are several reasons highlighting their
importance for engineering students
UNDERSTANDING COMPUTER
ARCHITECTURE

Engineers need to comprehend how computers represent and


manipulate data. This knowledge is vital for designing efficient
algorithms and understanding the limitations of computational
systems.
DIGITAL CIRCUIT DESIGN

In fields like electrical and computer engineering,


knowledge of number systems is crucial for designing
digital circuits, including arithmetic logic units (ALUs),
memory systems, and processors.
PROGRAMMING AND SOFTWARE
DEVELOPMENT

Engineers often develop software for various


applications. Understanding data representation helps in
efficient memory management, optimizing code
execution, and avoiding pitfalls like overflow or
underflow errors.
SIGNAL PROCESSING AND
COMMUNICATIONS

• In disciplines like telecommunications and signal


processing, engineers work extensively with digital
signals. Understanding binary representation and
number systems is essential for encoding, decoding, and
processing these signals accurately.
DATA COMPRESSION AND ENCRYPTION

Engineers often deal with data compression techniques


to optimize storage and transmission bandwidth.
Additionally, encryption algorithms rely on binary data
representation and number theory concepts.
TAKEAWAYS

A thorough understanding of number systems and data


representation is indispensable for engineering students
across various disciplines. These concepts form the
foundation for designing efficient systems, developing
software, analyzing data, and solving real-world
engineering problems.
