.
Arithmetic Shift
Binary underflow
What is the purpose of an arithmetic left shift?
What is binary shifting in computer science?
What is overflow in binary addition?
In binary shifting, what happens to the value of a binary number when it is shifted to the left by 1 bit?
What happens to the sign bit during an arithmetic right shift?
Arithmetic right shift is performed on signed numbers where the leftmost bit represents the
of the number.
Machine precision
Which bitwise operator is used for left shift operations?
Binary underflow occurs when the result of a calculation is too small to be represented in the allocated
.
Arithmetic right shift is a division operation that effectively divides the number by
for each shift.
Logical shifts are often used in computer programming to manipulate
numbers.
Carry Bit
What happens if a logical left shift operation causes the most significant bit to be lost?
During an arithmetic right shift, the sign bit is shifted to the right, but the other bits are filled with the original
of the sign bit.
Which of the following can cause an overflow in binary addition?
What does overflow mean in the context of binary shifts?
Shift Amount
