This assignment has eight questions of a total of 80 marks. Answer all the questions. 20 marks are for viva voce. You may use illustrations and diagrams to enhance explanations. Please go through the guidelines regarding assignments given in the Programme Guide for the format of the presentation. Illustrations/ examples, where-ever required, should be different from those given in the course material. You must use only a simple calculator to perform the calculations.

Q1.(a)
Use the eight-decimal digit floating-point representation as given in your Block 1, Unit 1, Section 1.3.1 page 29 to perform the following operations:

(i) Represent 0.0006374845 and 5749855743 as floating-point numbers in normalized form using chopping for the first number and rounding for the second number.

(ii) Given the above two numbers, what is the absolute and relative error in their representation?

(iii)Subtract the smaller number from the bigger numbers. What is the error in the resulting number?

(iv) Divide the first number by the second number. Convert the result into a normalized form in the given format.

(v) Take the first number as 586309 and assume any second number to demonstrate the concepts of overflow or underflow for the given representation. (You may assume any second number to demonstrate overflow or underflow).

(vi) Explain the term bias in the context of binary floating-point representation.

(b)
Explain the term Unstable Algorithm and Unstable Problem with the help of one example of each other than the example given in the course material.
