Introduction
We begin this chapter with some of the basic concept of representation of numbers on
computers and errors introduced during computation. Problem solving using computers and the
steps involved are also discussed in brief.
Number (s) System (s)
In our daily life, we use numbers based on the decimal system. In this system, we use ten
symbols 0, 1,…,9 and the number 10 is called the base of the system.
Thus, when a base N is given, we need N different symbols 0, 1, 2, …,(N – 1) to represent an
arbitrary number.
The number systems commonly used in computers are
