Which of the following scenarios illustrates binary overflow?
If the result of an operation is smaller than the smallest representable value, it is rounded to
.
When an overflow occurs, the result may wrap around or be
, leading to incorrect calculations.
What happens when a left shift operation causes overflow?
Binary Underflow
When binary overflow happens, the most significant bit is often lost, leading to an incorrect
.
Underflow Flag
What happens in binary addition when the sum exceeds the range of representable values?
Binary Overflow
The phenomenon of binary overflow is usually addressed by increasing the
width of the numbers involved.
What is underflow in the context of binary numbers?
What happens when a binary subtraction results in a number that exceeds the limits of representation?
Some systems or languages treat underflow as an
, causing exceptions or warnings.
What is binary shifting in computer science?
In some programming languages, binary overflow can cause an
to be thrown, while others may wrap the result around to a minimum value.
