IFN503 Assessment 2 - Deliverable 1: Number Systems and LMC

This document presents the complete solution to IFN503 Assessment 2, which encompasses three main questions. Question 1 involves converting the character string '+15.3682' into ASCII representation across hexadecimal, binary, octal, and decimal number systems, detailing the conversion process. Question 2 focuses on floating-point representation, requiring the conversion of the fixed-point decimal number '+78.875' into IEEE 754 format, expressing the final answer in hexadecimal, and showing all the working steps. This question also explores a hypothetical floating-point format with a 6-bit excess-31 exponent and a 25-bit mantissa, along with converting a given hexadecimal number (C37DD000) back to its decimal equivalent, demonstrating the conversion steps. Question 3 involves writing a Little Man Computer (LMC) program using symbolic addressing to output the sums of odd values from 1 to 15, showcasing the code and its output, along with the program's functionality and execution.
