c = dec2bin ( bin2dec( a ) + bin2dec( b ) )

3. Subtract two binary numbers.

1010

4. Convert binary fraction to decimal.

110001
dec2bin( ‘11.001’ ) 110001
101110
110000
110000
110001

5. Convert octal 2019 to decimal.

oct2dec( ‘2019’ ) For oct2dec( ‘2019’ ) input, (Error using oct2dec, oct2dec
oct2dec( ‘2017’ ) requires the argument to be a non-empty octal matrix).
For oct2dec( ‘2017’ ) input, the answer is
1039
6. Multiply two octal numbers.
dec2oct ( oct2dec( ‘17’ ) * oct2dec( ‘62’ ) ) 1356

7. Divide two octal numbers.

dec2oct ( oct2dec( ‘700’ ) / oct2dec( ‘20’ ) ) 34

8. Convert hexadecimal AB to decimal.

hex2dec('face') 64206

9. Raise to an exponent a hex number with

another hex number. 86430AAC61
dec2hex ( hex2dec( ‘f’ ) ^ hex2dec( ‘a’ ) )

10. Study the properties of the DEC2BASE

command. Do not copy the output anymore.

DATA SCREENSHOTS

SC1.

SC1. Converting decimal number system 2019 to binary system using the command
dec2bin.

SC2.

SC2.The above image shows the addition of two binary numbers by simply setting letter a and
b to a specific binary number (1001 and 1100) so that when using the command
dec2bin(bin2dec(a)+bin2dec(b)) we can simply use the letter, set with a specific value.

Sc5.1

SC5.1 The above image shows the conversion of octal to decimal but octal number
system only accepts the numbers from zero to seven so the answer is error.

SC5.2

Sc5.2 The above image shows the conversion of octal (2017) to decimal using the
oct2dec command.

SC6.

Sc6. Converting decimal to octal is a wrong argument so the command help

dec2base can be used as it discuss how to convert decimal integer to base B string. Since the
procedure is multiplication of two octal number, dec2base(product,base) is the command to
be use and the base is 8.

DATA ANALYSIS
As I conducted the activity number 1 entitled “Review of Binary-based Number Systems” with

the use of MATLAB. I was able to analyze different commands that can be used to convert decimal to

binary, octal to decimal, binary to decimal,. Etc. For example, the conversion of decimal 2019 to binary.

I also learned that binary number system is composed of only two digits, which are 1 and 0. For octa, it

has only 0-7 number values which implies for my answer in number 5.a ((oct2dec (‘2019’)) which is

error. For number 6, with the command (dec2oct(oct2dec(‘17’)*oct2dec(‘62’)), the result will also

appear as error, I used the command help dec2base to understand it properties, with this I was able

to understand that the product should be in base 8 to be able to get the right answer, same goes for

number 7. For number 8, conversion of hexa to decimal can easily be solve as long as the values of

hexadecimal used are from 0-9 and letters A to G, letters A to G corresponds to numbers 11-16 . Same

goes when raising a hexa with another hexa (procedure #9).

power, love and self-discipline. - 2 Timothy 1:7

CONCLUSION

I therefore conclude that MATLAB is an easy way to convert, raise, multiply, add, subtract nor

divide octa, decimal, hexa and binary number systems but not all values can be converted directly from

one number system to another. I also concluded that when using the MATLAB’s commands, properties

of each number system should be applied to the values given, specially the corresponding base because

if not, the answer will always appear as error even we input the right commands.

RECOMMENDATIONS

I recommend to search for more additional commands under binary-based

number system for it will help the students increase the knowledge about it when

using MATLAB. Also always double check the answers personally using calculator

or manual calculation since it is discussed under the Logic Circuit and Switching

Theory Lecture, always double check.

OTHER LEARNINGS

In addition to what I have learned, binary based number system is the language of

the computer. We communicate with each other in a particular language made

of letters or words. We normally type letters or words through keyboard of the

computer, but computer does not understand By studying other number systems

such as decimal (10), binary (base 2), octal (base 8), hexadecimal (base 16), we will

gain a better understanding of how number systems work in general.
