Question

The binary point between the digits b0 and b1 exist physically in the computer.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me during a job interview.

My doubt is from Representation of Numbers topic in section Discrete Time Systems Implementation of Digital Signal Processing

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) False

For explanation: The binary point between the digits b0 and b1 does not exist physically in the computer. Simply, the logic circuits of the computer are designed such that the computations result in numbers that correspond to the assumed location of this point.
