Binary underflow can lead to inaccuracies in calculations due to the limited precision of floating-point
.
Logical shifts are often used in computer programming to manipulate
numbers.
Which bitwise operator is used for left shift operations?
In binary shifting, what happens to the value of a binary number when it is shifted to the left by 1 bit?
What is an overflow error in binary arithmetic?
In binary shifting, what happens to the value of a binary number when it is shifted to the right by 1 bit?
In an arithmetic left shift, the value of the number is effectively multiplied by
for each shift operation.
What is an unsigned overflow error in binary arithmetic?
What is overflow in binary addition?
In a logical shift to the right, the most significant bit is filled with a copy of the original bit rather than a
