Solution

How does the number of bits affect the range of integer values?

Solution

With more bits, more distinct values can be represented. For unsigned integers the maximum is 2n−12^n-1; for signed integers the range is roughly −2n−1-2^{n-1} to 2n−1−12^{n-1}-1.

Discuss theoretical concepts, mathematical formulas, and architectural foundations.
