Answer :
Final answer:
To calculate 185 - 122 as signed 8-bit decimal integers, convert the numbers to binary, subtract the binary numbers, and convert the result back to decimal. The result is 63, which does not exceed the 8-bit range.
Explanation:
To calculate 185 - 122, we need to subtract the two numbers.
Convert 185 and 122 to their 8-bit binary representations.
Perform the subtraction of the binary numbers.
Convert the result back to decimal.
185 in binary is 10111001 and 122 in binary is 01111010. Subtracting the binary numbers gives us 00111111.
Converting 00111111 back to decimal, we get 63.
There is no overflow or underflow in this case because the result of 63 can be represented within the 8-bit range (−128 to 127).
