A lvl Unit 1

3. Representation: A method for representing real numbers with a fixed number of bits allocated to the integer and fractional parts.
6. Representation: A method for representing real numbers using a mantissa and an exponent to accommodate a wide range of values.
7. The decimal numbering system used as the basis for conversion to binary.
12. A method for representing negative numbers in binary by inverting the bits and adding one.
13. Another term for mantissa, representing the significant digits of a floating-point number.
14. A designated bit used to indicate whether a number is positive or negative.
15. The balance between precision and range when allocating bits in a number representation.
19. A near representation of a value when an exact conversion is impossible in binary.

1. A technique for converting the fractional part of a decimal number to binary by multiplying by 2 and recording the integer part.
2. The degree to which a numerical representation accurately reflects the original value.
4. The part of a floating-point number that contains its significant digits.
5. The series of steps required to transform a denary number into its binary equivalent.
8. The discrepancy that arises when a number cannot be represented exactly due to limited precision.
9. A group of 8 bits used as a basic unit of data storage in computers.
10. The component of a floating-point number that indicates the power to which the base (radix) is raised.
11. The process of shifting a floating-point number so that the mantissa is adjusted for maximum precision.
16. A numerical system that uses only two digits, 0 and 1, to represent numbers.
17. The base of a number system, which is implied to be 2 in binary representation.
18. The smallest unit of digital data, representing a binary value of 0 or 1.
