What binary value does location $1$ contain? Location $4?$

b$.$ The binary value within each location can be interpreted in many ways. We have seen

that binary values can represent unsigned numbers, $2$s complement signed numbers,

floating point numbers, and so forth.

$(1)$ Interpret location $3$ and location $6$ as $2$s complement integers.

$(2)$ Interpret locations $6$ and $7$ as an IEEE floating point number. Location $6$ contains

number$[15$:$0].$ Location $7$ contains number$[31$:$16].$

$(3)$ Interpret location $3$ and location $6$ as unsigned integers.

c$.$ In the von Neumann model, the contents of a memory location can also be an

instruction. If the binary pattern in location $0$ were interpreted as an instruction, what

instruction would it represent?

d$.$ A binary value can also be interpreted as a memory address. Say the value stored in

location $5$ is a memory address. To which location does it refer? What binary value does

that location contain?
