Sign bit : The left-most bit of a binary number that designates whether the number is positive (0) or negative (1).
Weight : The value of a digit in a number based on its position in the number.
In the decimal number system each of the ten digits, 0 through 9, represents a certain quantity.
Stated anther way: A base—10 number system. 3.
EXAMPLE 2-1 Express the number 47 as a sum of the values of each digit.
Mantissa [ 尾数 ]
KEY TERMS

§2.1 DECIMAL NUMBERS
You are familiar with the decimal number system because you use decimal numbers every day. Although decimal numbers are commonplace, their weighted structure is often not understood.
Digit : A symbol used to express a quantity.
Exponent : The part of a floating-point number that represents the number of places that the decimal point is to be moved.
Mantissa : The magnitude of a floatingpoint number.
Most significant bit (MSB) : The left – most bit in a binary whole number or code.
Octal : Describes a number system with a base of eight.
BCD : Binary coded decimal; a digital code in which each of the decimal digits, 0 through 9, is represented by group of four bits.
Byte : A group of eight bits.
Carry : The digit generated when the sum of two binary digits exceeds 1.
Complement : The inverse or opposite of a number.
Decimal : Describes a number system with a base of ten.
Hexadecimal : Describes a number system with a base of 16.
Integer : A whole number.
Least significant bit (LSB) : Generally, the right –most bit in a binary whole number or code.
Floating-point number: A number representation based on scientific notation in which the number consists of an exponent and a mantissa.
Gray code : An unweighted digital code characterized by a single bit change between adjacent code number in a sequence.
Overflow: The condition that occurs when the number of bits in a sum exceeds the number of bits in each of the numbers added.
Parity : In relation to binary codes, the condition of evenness or oddness of the number of 1s in a code group.
