Laboratory Work No. 1
Memory Representations of Primitive Data
In this laboratory work, you should research and find a solution (proved by C code) for each task below:
a) How many bits a byte equals to?
b) How many bytes a basic data type (char, int, float, and double) occupies in memory?
c) How many bits an integer variable occupies in memory?
d) What is the minimum and maximum value a character variable can store?
e) What is the minimum and maximum value a short-integer variable can store?
f) What is the minimum and maximum value an integer variable can store?
g) What range of values can be stored in a single-precision floating-point variable?
h) Write a C program that bitwise displays the character value ‘A’ to the screen.
i) Write a C program that bitwise displays the short-integer value 167 to the screen.
j) Write a C program that bitwise displays the single-precision-floating-point value 3.14 to the screen.
Note that you can write a few functions and/or assemble all tasks in a single C program.
Hint: There are some header files in C that can be used for answering the tasks above
