Programming for GCSE
Topic 2.3: Converting Binary and Decimal
Teaching London Computing

Aims
• Understand powers of 2• Number of numbers
• Convert between binary and decimal• Using powers of 2
• Do binary arithmetic with more interpretation• How fixed width leads to overflow in
addition
• Look at some pictures• Notes on the syllabus
Teaching Issue
• So far, used counting … • … now more mathematics.
• Still, minimise notation and terms
CONVERTING BETWEEN BINARY AND DECIMAL
Decimal – base 10
• Base 10• 10 numerals• ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’, … , ‘9’
• What does ‘123’ mean?
123 = 1 x 100 + 2 x 10 + 3 x 1

Conversion to Binary
• To convert a decimal integer to binary:• Odd 1, Even 0• Divide by 2• Stop when result of the division is 0

POWERS AND EXPONENTS
Powers and Exponents• 10N Power of 10
‘N’ is an exponent
• 100 = 1• 10(X+Y) = 10X x 10Y
100 = 1
101 = 10
102 = 10 x 10
103 = 10 x 10 x 10
21 = 1
21 = 2
22 = 2 x 2
23 = 2 x 2 x 2

= 1 x 16 + 0 x 8 + 1 x 4 + 0 x 2 + 0 x 1
= 16 + 4 = 20
Quiz
• Write out powers of 2, up to 28 (then 216)
• Convert 101000112 to decimal
• Convert 011111112 to decimal
• What is the next number after (the 10 digit number) 11111111112 in base 10?
K and 210 and 103
• 210 = 1024, approximately equal to 103
• 210 abbreviated by ‘K’• 1 KByte is 1024 Bytes
• 220 = 210 x 210 103 x 103 = 106 • 220 abbreviated ‘M’ • 1 MByte = 220 Bytes 106 Bytes
Quiz
• Which is larger• 232 or• the number of people in the world?
HOW MANY NUMBERS
How Many Numbers?
• How many decimal numbers less that 100?• 2-digit numbers : NN• 0 .. 99• 100 different numbers
• General rule: • 10n n-digits (decimal) numbers• 2n n-digit (binary) numbers

Quiz
• 161 student in this class How many bits to represent each student
with a unique binary number?
• A computer can execute 9 different machine instructions: ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV, JUMP, LOAD, READ, WRITE, STOP.
How many bits do we need to give each instruction a different code?What could these codes be?
Quiz – Answers
• 7 bits?? • NO! With 7 bits we can only represent 27 = 128
patterns. • We need 8 bits. 8 bits can represent up to 28 =
256 patterns
• To represent 9 bit patterns we need 4 bits: 24 = 16

Overflow
Arithmetic with Fixed Number of Digits
Overflow
• The addition of 8 bit numbers may overflow 8 bits
• Computer arithmetic has a limited number of bits

IMAGES
Two Ideas – Images
• Pixels and resolution• Image is an array of pixels
• Number of bits per pixel• ‘Colour’ of each pixel is a number
Original
• Red – 8 bits• Green – 8 bits• Blue – 8 bits• ‘Million’

SYLLABUS
Syllabus – Binary
• GCSE (OCR)• Conversion between binary and decimal• Hexadecimal• Binary addition
• AS/A2 (AQA)• (AS) Negative numbers - two’s complement • (AS) More arithmetic• (A2) Real (floating point) numbers
Summary
• Understand powers of 2• How many bits binary representation• Arithmetic with fixed number of bits leads to
overflow
• Images• Pixels• Bits per pixel
• Anything can be represented by numbers (i.e. digitally)
