  2. Method of complements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_complements

    The nines' complement of a number given in decimal representation is formed by replacing each digit with nine minus that digit. To subtract a decimal number y (the subtrahend) from another number x (the minuend) two methods may be used: In the first method, the nines' complement of x is added to y. Then the nines' complement of the result ...

  3. Two's complement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two's_complement

    Two's complement is the most common method of representing signed (positive, negative, and zero) integers on computers, [1] and more generally, fixed point binary values. Two's complement uses the binary digit with the greatest value as the sign to indicate whether the binary number is positive or negative; when the most significant bit is 1 the number is signed as negative and when the most ...

  4. Arithmetic logic unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_logic_unit

    Arithmetic shift: the operand is treated as a two's complement integer, meaning that the most significant bit is a "sign" bit and is preserved. Logical shift: a logic zero is shifted into the operand. This is used to shift unsigned integers.

  5. Computation of cyclic redundancy checks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computation_of_cyclic...

    [10] To understand the advantages, start with the slice-by-2 case. We wish to compute a CRC two bytes (16 bits) at a time, but the standard table-based approach would require an inconveniently large 65536-entry table. As mentioned in § Generating the lookup table, CRC tables have the property that table[i xor j] = table[i] xor table[j].

  6. Word processor program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_processor_program

    A word processor program is an application program that provides word processing functions. The most basic of them include input, editing, formatting, and output of rich text . The functions of a word processor program fall somewhere between those of a simple text editor and a fully functioned desktop publishing program.

  7. Fletcher's checksum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletcher's_checksum

    When the data word is divided into 8-bit blocks, as in the example above, two 8-bit sums result and are combined into a 16-bit Fletcher checksum. Usually, the second sum will be multiplied by 256 and added to the simple checksum, effectively stacking the sums side-by-side in a 16-bit word with the simple checksum at the least significant end.

  8. Saturation arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_arithmetic

    When adding two numbers using two's complement representation, overflow results in a "wrap-around" phenomenon. The result can be a catastrophic loss in signal-to-noise ratio in a DSP system. Signals in DSP designs are therefore usually either scaled appropriately to avoid overflow for all but the most extreme input vectors, or produced using ...

  9. Multiplication algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_algorithm

    [10] Quarter square multipliers were used in analog computers to form an analog signal that was the product of two analog input signals. In this application, the sum and difference of two input voltages are formed using operational amplifiers. The square of each of these is approximated using piecewise linear circuits. Finally the difference of ...
