Abstract

This chapter is devoted primarily to study the various representations used for integers, both binary and decimal, but also mentioned the fixed point representation of fractional numbers. Next, we analyze the basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) with integers, without going into implementation details. Chapter finishes studying the representation of integers using signed digits. The following chapter discusses in more detail these elementary operations, presenting different implementations.
