Question

Suppose that the (fictional) MST-XP computer uses9 bits to store a single integer value (using
unsigned binary, not two's complement). What is the largest integervalue that the MST-XP can store?
(HINT: the smallest possible unsigned value is 0, which isrepresented by all zeros in binary) Suppose that the (fictional) MST-XP computer uses9 bits to store a single integer value (using

(HINT: the smallest possible unsigned value is 0, which isrepresented by all zeros in binary)

Explanation / Answer

The only possible values are 0 and 1. So the largest value willbe the number with all 1s.

So the largest value represented in binary is 111111111.

So the integer is 511. It can store up to a value of 511.
