This assignment demonstrates that you have mastered how to represent numerical data. Answer the following two questions and complete the corresponding two computations.
Question 1: Why do we need signed-and-magnitude representations of binary numbers in computers?
Computation 1: Represent the decimal values: -37, -54, and 56 in binary using signed-and magnitude representation.
Question 2: Why do we need floating-point numbers in computers?
Computation 2: Represent the decimal values: -23.2, 9.32, and -32.5 in binary for IEEE standard 32-bit floating-point value.
