Computer Arithmetic in Practice: Exercises and
Programming is a simple, brief introductory volume for undergraduate and
graduate students at university courses interested in understanding the
foundation of computers.
It is focused on numeric data formats and
capabilities of computers to perform basic arithmetic operations. It
discusses mainly such topics as:
• Basic concepts of computer architecture
• Assembly language programming skills
• Data formats used to express integer and real numbers
• Algorithms of basic arithmetic operations
• Short overview of nonlinear functions evaluation
• Discussion on limited number representation and computer arithmetic
• Exercises and programming tasks
This
book provides an accessible overview of common data formats used to
write numbers in programming languages and how the computer performs
four basic arithmetic operations from the point of view of the processor
instruction set. The book is primarily didactic in nature, therefore
the theoretical information
is enriched with many numerical examples
and exercises to be solved using a ‘sheet of paper and a pencil’.
Answers are provided for most of the tasks.The theoretical discussed
issues are illustrated by listings of algorithms presenting the way to
implement arithmetic operations in low-level language. It allows
development the skills of optimal programming, taking into
consideration
the computer architecture and limitations. Creating software using
low-level language programming, despite the initial difficulties, gives
the ability to control the code and create efficient applications. This
allows for
effective consolidation of knowledge and acquisition of
practical skills required at this stage of education, mainly a
specialist in the field of information technology, electronics,
telecommunications, other related disciplines, or at the level of
general education with introduction to information technology. It may be
also useful for engineers interested in their own professional
