C :: Largest Negative Number In 2 Complement

Mar 3, 2014

In this exercise:The C Programming Language Exercise 3-4..It states the following: "In a two's complement number representation, our version of itoa does not handle the largest negative number, that is, the value of n equal to -(2 to the power (wordsize - 1)) ."

A char is one byte (255 bits). The range of an 8 bit variable using a two's complement representation is -128 to 127. Therefore -128 is the largest negative value. The statement in book suggests that the itoa function will not output -128 if we pass -128 as a parameter, because in itoa when we try to convert -128 to positive -128, the inverse of -128 is -128. However, I just ran this code in my computer and it successfully outputted -128.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define SIZE 10
void reverse(char s[])
{
int c, i, j;
}

C :: Negative Numbers Are Biased In Two Complement?

Mar 2, 2014

I am reading one of the exercise solutions for C Programming Language: The C Programming Language Exercise 3-4

In it, it states that negative numbers are biased by (2^n - 1) (i.e. -I is represented by (2^n - 1) - (+I). So:

Code:
Bias = 2^8 - 1 = 255 = 11111111
Subtract 25 = 00011001
Equals = 11100110

what is meant by the "bias" here and what is the value of "I" here. It just suddenly uses "I" without explaining what it is.

C/C++ :: Converting Integer Number To Its 2's Complement Presentation

Jan 28, 2014

I am working on an assignment about converting an integer number to its 2's complement presentation. The binary representation is consisting of a single linked list.

As we all know, the steps of this converting is to taking the reminder of the absolute value, then flipping the 1 to be 0, and the 0 to be 1 in the binary number. And the last step will be to add 1 to the binary number invers.

I wrote a code that implements every thin correctly. However, when I reached the part of adding 1, the program was hanged.

int Absolute; //the first step is to convert the number to the binry reprezentation
Absolute = abs (value);// by take the Absolute value of the negative number, then find the
while (Absolute !=0) //the binary reprezentation {
int res;
res= (Absolute % 2);
pushFront (res);
Absolute /=2 ;

C++ :: Receive Number From User And Output Largest Prime Number

Nov 20, 2014

I am attempting to write code that receives a number from the user and outputs the largest prime number underneath the user's number.

C++ :: Display Negative Number?

Mar 12, 2014

I am getting strings from an HTTP request that will have hex values and I must convert those strings to a signed decimal.

//typical string inside response: //0E1D052BFBB711C1002C0042007A014DFE44022B270F7FFF8000000000000000
//every 4 characters above are a signed decimal value
for (a = 0; a <= 63; a+=4){
sprintf(vval,"0X%c%c%c%c",response[a],response[a+1],response[a+2],response[a+3]);
ds = strtol(vval, NULL, 16);
sprintf(vval,"%d",ds);
}

The problem is I never see a negative number. Decoding 0x8000 gives me 32768 but not -32768.

C/C++ :: Finding Largest Number In Loop

Feb 10, 2014

I need to calculate the expected time it takes to do an activity using a formula provided and after the loop is broken it needs to show the number of projects processed and the project with the longest expected time. I've got everything working except for finding the the project with the longest expected time. What I have here just keeps displaying the number of the last project processed regardless of if it was the largest or not, specifically lines 54-61 is what i can't seem to figure out.

#include <stdio.h>
int main( void ) {
unsigned int counter;
int projectnumber;

C++ :: Largest Prime Factors Of The Number 600851475143

Mar 23, 2013

What is the largest prime factor of the number 600851475143 ?

This is what I have. If I replace 600851475143 by 1000 (for example), it works fine until 2 divides 1000 to 500, 250, 125...but when it has to find the next divisible prime (ie 5) it cannot do that and the program stops working.

Code:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
bool find_prime(int number) {
int factor, num;
factor = 2;
num = number;

C++ :: Finding Largest Prime Factor Of A Number?

Mar 10, 2013

I am trying to find the largest prime factor of a number. But when I am trying to determine if a number is a prime number in the function:

int is_prime(int number), I am unable to exit the loop.

Here is the code:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int is_prime(int number) //the problem is in this function {
int num = number;
int factor=0;
do{
num++;
for(int i=1;i<(num+1);i++){

[code].....

So when the program runs, it first divides 20 by 2, to get 10, then divides 10 by 2 to get 5. Since, // condition 1 is not met, it passes 2 to the function int is_prime(int number). The function is able to return 3, but cannot exit the loop when num is 4.

I think the problem lies in the function: int is_prime(int number).

C :: Why Program Can't Subtract Negative Number From Positive One

Feb 2, 2015

My program uses a while loop to eventually get to an error of zero and a root of sqrt(3). I'm not understand why after the third iteration the program fails to compute a new x value. I'm using Visual Studio 2013. The code tag instructions were dubious.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
main() {
/*This program uses the Newton-Raphson method to solve y = (x^3)-3 for it's roots.*/
printf("This program uses the Newton-Raphson method to solve y = (x^3)-3 for it's roots. Enter your estimate of the root.
");
float x,y,z;
int num;
num = 0;

C++ :: How To Get Rid Of Negative Number From Randomly Generated Numbers

Oct 21, 2013

I have a error with one of my programs. I'm supposed to get rid of negative numbers when there are numbers that are randomly generated. Here is the middle part of the code.

{
int vectorLength = 10;
vector<int> bothSigns(vectorLength);
cout << " Input vector: ";
for (int i = 0; i < vectorLength; i = i + 1)
{ bothSigns[i] = rand()%201 - 100;

The part where i'm supposed to start is after the /////'s. However, whenever I input a number for the random numbers(not put in part of code), i keep getting a segmentation error.

C/C++ :: Find Max Number Entered By User And Terminate When Negative Number Entered

I am trying to find the max number entered by the user, and it should terminate when a negative number is entered. For my code, it will just end when the user inputs a lower number than the previous. i.e.- 10 20 15 "The highest number is 20" when it should be "10 20 5 40 15 -1" "The highest number is 40". No arrays or do/while loops either.
