This document discusses computer arithmetic and data types used in digital computers. It begins by explaining different number systems like binary, decimal, octal and hexadecimal. It then describes various data types like integers, floating point numbers and alphanumeric characters represented using ASCII codes. The document also covers binary number representations like signed magnitude, one's complement and two's complement. It discusses addition and subtraction algorithms for signed numbers in these representations. Finally, it provides examples of conversions between different number systems and arithmetic operations.
