    to the integrity of scholarship. See
    http://catalog.iastate.edu/academiclife/regulations/ , Academic
    Dishonesty.
    Homework must be typed and uploaded to BlackBoard as a PDF or Word
    Document (i.e. .doc or .docx) only.

    penalty is 10% per day (for each 24 hours following your class).

    Question 1 (15 pts)


    Note: The purpose of this question is to refresh your understanding of numeric
    representation from the prerequisite courses.
    Complete the table below. Assume ASCII encoding of characters, and a 2s
    complement encoding of negative numbers. Recall what you have learned about
    2s complement encoding from other courses. When representing a number in
    hexadecimal or binary, use the proper number of digits for the ATmega128
    architecture (depends on type). The first row has been completed for you.

    Value of x
    char x = 60;
    char x = 'F';
    char x = 123;
    char x = '7';
    char x = 5;
    int x = 0x288;
    int x = 0xFACE;
    char x = 0b10001100;
    unsigned int x = 0xABCD +
    0x2131;
    char x = 0x7 + 3;
    char x = 0x48 / 16;
    signed int x = -1;
    signed int x = -128;
    signed char x = 9;
    char x = -1;
    unsigned char x = 63;

    x
    (decimal)
    60

    x (hex)
    0x3c

    x (binary)
