Assignment B:

• Work through Laboratory 2, and turn in Exercise 1. Staple to the lab any screen shots and extra paper required. Note that steps 1, 3, and 6 require you to actually show your work to indicate that you can do these conversions by yourself. Make sure that you show your work and know how to do these calculations.
  
  Question 8 in exercise 2 is somewhat unclear when you actually sit down with the applet to try and answer it, since the column labeled "binary" always shows 8 binary digits, even when the answer really has 9. Reword the question, then, as the following:
  
  "Finally, what are the limits of the 'Binary addition' applet? What are the largest numbers it can add? What is the largest result it can produce using all nine binary digits that it allows for the answer? Record your answers below, in both binary and decimal values.
  
  Largest numbers it can add ____________________
  
  Largest result it can produce using all nine binary digits that it allows for the answer  ____________________"
  
  
• Add the following additional questions to the Exercise:
