Credit: 5 CPD

Length: 64 pages

This 5-hour course is the first in a series of three courses about digital computer logic systems. This first course covers the basics of converting numbers into formats that are commonly used digital computer systems. Conversion to binary, octal, hexadecimal and BCD are covered.

The course begins with a fundamental review of the basic components of numbers, including determining the most significant digit and least significant digit in a number. From this basis, we move to adding and subtracting numbers in different bases, which is one of the fundamental computer logic operations. Conversions between bases are also covered as well as an explanation of binary coded decimal (BCD) numbers.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Recognize number systems commonly used in digital computing.
• Identify most- and least-significant digits in positional number systems.
• Calculate binary addition and subtraction results.
• Apply radix-complement methods to binary subtraction.
• Convert decimal values to other number systems.
• Transform numeric values into binary-coded-decimal representation.
• Compute sums in binary-coded decimal.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 30 questions. CPD credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
