# Bits, Bytes, and Integers
In computers, everything consists of bits.
By encoding sets of bits in various ways, they made meanings:
* instructions
* and data(numbers, sets, strings, etc..)
## Boolean Algebra
* and `A & B`
* or `A | B`
* not `~A`
* xor `A ^ B`
### in C
* Shift (`<<`, `>>`)
* Left Shift(`<<`)
Zero fill on right
* Right Shift(`>>`)
Logical Shift: zero fill with 0's on left
Arithmetic shift Relicate most significant bit on left
```c {cmd="gcc" args=[-x c $input_file -O0 -m32 -o 1_1.out]}
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int a = 0x7fffffff;
int as = a << 1;
printf("shl of %d: %d(%08x)\n", a, as, as);
unsigned b = 0x7fffffff;
unsigned bs = b << 1;
printf("shl of %u: %u(%08x)\n", b, bs, bs);
}
```
```sh {cmd hide}
while ! [ -f 1_1.out ]; do sleep .1; done; ./1_1.out
```
## Integers
### Representation & Encoding
* for $w$ bits data $x$
$$B2U(X)=\sum_{i=0}^{w-1} x_i 2^{i}\quad B2T(X)=-x_{w-1}*2^{w-1} + \sum_{i=0}^{w-2}{x_i 2^i}$$
### Conversion
**Mapping Between `signed` and `unsigned`**
Maintain bit pattern
so the conversion of negative value of the signed or value over the T_MAX results different interpreted value.
### Expanding, Truncating
**expanding of $w$-bit signed integer**
$X = x_{w-1}x_{w-2}\cdots x_0$
where $s = x_{w-1}$
expanding it to $w+k$-bit signed int:
$X = s_{k}s_{k-1} \cdots s_1 x_{w-1}\cdots x_0,\quad \text{where}\, s_i = s$
**truncation of $w$-bit signed integer**
first $k$ bit change
## C Puzzle
```c
int x = foo();
int y = bar();
unsigned ux = x;
unsigned uy = y;
```
* `x < 0` -> `((x*2) < 0)`
* `false`: underflow
* `ux >= 0`
* it's converted to `ux >= 0u` so `true` for all ux
* `x & 7 == 7` -> `(x << 30) < 0`
* `true`
* `ux > -1`
* `always false`, `-1 = uint_max`
* `x > y` -> `-x < -y`
* `false`
* `x * x >= 0`
* `false`
* `x > 0 && y > 0` -> `x + y > 0`
* `x >= 0` -> `-x <= 0`
* `x <= 0` -> `-x >= 0`
* `(x|-x) >> 31 == -1`
* `ux >> 3 == ux/8`
* `x >> 3 == x/8`
* `x & (x-1) != 0`
* `true`
