The value 5 is stored in a signed (2's complement) integer. The bits are shifted 4 places to the right. What is the resultant value (in decimal) ? 0.3125

The resultant value is 0

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Now

The + 5 representation in signed 2's complement integer: 00000101

Thus

When we right shift then, 4 rightmost bit (0101) will be dropped.

The number after 4-bit right shift: 00000000

Therefore the resultant value after 4-bit right shift is "0" in decimal.
