...why 2's-complement won. Maybee conversion to/from character code is easier. Notice the conversion code in the linked article.

I lived ten years in the Faroe Islands. You can do just fine with Danish, but learning to read and understand spoken Faroese was of course a great advantage. Too old to learn speaking it, but conversations where I spoke my mothertongue and

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim. (This is intended for code.)

For one sensory input nerves and motor output nerves have distinct entry/exit points. I.e. visual preprocessing must ofcourse take place in the brain where the optical nerves enter.

It would be tedious to do it all by pure branching. You would need a 64-way branch for c2. If you can't spare one separate RAM bit for a carry you could store the carries in the c2 location and start the computation of c2 by if (c2==..

First of all the machine should have enough RAM to hold the numbers you want to add. Say two 3-bit numbers a and b: a2 a1 a0 + b2 b1 b0 ---------- = c2 c1 c0 Then to do the addition by testing one bit at a time think like

It's a hole number. Minus three means three things are missing leaving three holes.

For two bits AND is multiply, not for two numbers in general, regardless of base.

In this decimal digit context it would be appropriate to define NOT d = 9 - d Similar to NOT b = 1 - b for binary digits. And in fuzzy logic. Taking the logic identity a XOR b = ( a AND NOT b ) OR ( NOT a AND b ) it wo

And so does MAX(a,MIN(b,c)) = MIN(MAX(a,b),MAX(a,c)) so it is even more useful than normal algebra :p

by jonsen 10y ago
I think it works, if you do it right: MIN(a,MAX(b,c)) = MAX(MIN(a,b),MIN(a,c))

It is fair enough, that you find the law f(a,a) = a useful. Just don't call it the identity function when it is not.
716.
by jonsen 10y ago
Right. Two's complement is binary. Think decimal hardware (which might use ten's complement for negative numbers).

The law x AND 1 = x is called the identity law. The law x AND x = x is called the idempotence law. Nothing to do with the identity function .

The formula in the accepted answer on SO is equivalent to the formula in this article. Just written differently.

As I see it in the picture, it's pretty obvious, that the hole moves with the handle. The indicator behind the hole is probably stationary, so moving the handle to the left makes the hole show red. By the way I think it's standa
